Preventive Dental Care

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.
