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.

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.
