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.
