Understanding Your Oral Health
Your smile is worth a thousand words and keeping it healthy is worth even more.
Why is preventive dental care important?
- Brushing, flossing, eating a healthy diet, and seeing your dentist regularly helps to avoid dental disease.
- Routine exams and cleanings can prevent the additional cost associated with fillings, root canals, extractions, etc.
Best practices for routine dental care from the American Dental Association2
- Brush your teeth twice a day with an ADA accepted fluoride toothpaste.
- Replace your toothbrush every three or four months.
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner.
- Eat a balanced diet, and limit soft drinks and between-meal snacks.
