Healthy Smiles Make Great Impressions
It is easy to keep your teeth and gums in good health. A simple routine of brushing and cleaning between teeth every day, establishing good eating habits and having regular dental visits can prevent may dental problems – saving you dollars and discomfort!
Brushing Basics
Brush twice a day with an ADA –accepted fluoride toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay. Since there are various techniques for brushing your teeth, it is a good idea to ask your dentist which one to use.
Cleaning Between Your Teeth
Even if you brush twice a day, decay-causing bacteria still lingers between teeth where tooth-brush bristles can’t reach. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Your dentist or hygienist can provide instructions on proper flossing techniques.
Remember, it only takes a few minutes each day to achieve a healthy smile.
