How Can You Better Care for Your Smile?

Can You Protect from Cavities?Can You Protect from Cavities?Sure, you brush your teeth twice a day, as recommended by your dentist? But do you sometimes worry that you should be doing even more to protect one of your greatest physical assets, your smile? If so, it is time to take a deeper look at what excellent oral care really requires, and whether or not you are taking all the steps necessary to truly keep your smile healthy. The good news is that proper preventive care is not complicated or even time consuming. It just requires some smart choices, both at-home and when visiting your general dentist.

Did You Know that Drinking Water Can Protect Your Dental Health

Like eating healthy foods and avoiding sugar, drinking water is also essential to good oral health. That is because it helps produce saliva, which is a natural defense against cavities. How? Saliva limits bacteria’s ability to stick to the surface of teeth, where it can create acidic erosion.

Good Hygiene Involves More Than Just Brushing

Twice daily brushing is important to protecting the smile. However, it is important to remember that brushing is not the only way you should be caring for your teeth on a daily basis. Flossing is just as important to preventing cavities and other dental problems.

Preventive Checkups Are Also Important

Of course, no amount of hygiene, or even a healthy diet, can eliminate the need for regular professional checkups and cleanings. Routine dental visits are a great and essential way to prevent cavities and other dental problems that can be caused by tartar buildup, and will then require restorative treatment.
