Much of your preventive dental care starts with you.
Developing healthy dental habits early in life can help reduce cavities, gum disease, and gingivitis.

*         Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day using a soft bristled brush and a fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist can recommend the best toothbrush and toothpaste for you. They can also instruct you on how to properly brush.
*         Floss daily to get bacteria that’s stuck between teeth before it turns to plaque.
*         Avoid acidic foods that can harm tooth enamel.
*         Be cautious with hard foods, like some candies, foods with bones, seeds, or pits that could damage or chip teeth.
*         Don’t smoke or use tobacco products—these can lead to cancer and other dental problems.
*         Use a mouth guard when participating in certain sports.
*         If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist for a nighttime mouth guard.

What happens during a dental exam?

Your dentist will have you complete a health history questionnaire on your first visit.
We do a comprehensive examination where all aspects of your oral health will be evaluated. Assess your risk of decay and gum disease, and a careful preventive examination of early signs of oral cancer.

We will check your bite and the relation between your jaws looking for any signs of disorder that could lead to more serious conditions including recurrent headaches and migraines.

Intra oral radiographies, as necessary, for diagnosis of early interdental carious lesions and/or infiltrations on the current restorations.

We will demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and coach you to improve or maintain your oral health.
