Just as you likely eat a healthy diet, exercise and maintain certain habits to enjoy overall health, it’s essential to maintain oral health too! Six months have passed since your last appointment, and your teeth are due for an exam, contact us today to schedule an appointment!
We want to stress the importance of taking steps to care for your teeth and gums to help you to keep your teeth and smile for life.
Here are four actions to help ensure your teeth stay in tip-top shape:
- Brush teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth each day using floss or interdental brushes.
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit the intake of added sugar.
- Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and preventive care.
Why Are Bi-Yearly Checkups So Important?
While scrupulous oral healthcare at home is essential to good oral health, visiting the dentist for six-monthly checkups is vital as well. By seeing your dentist twice a year for a checkup, you can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease and other issues from impacting your oral and general health. The benefit of a regular professional scale and clean is that it removes any plaque and tartar build up from your teeth and beneath the gum line. This preventative care can help keep minor issues from developing into major (and potentially costly) problems in the future.

Keep smiling,
