Preventative Dentistry

Preventative Dentistry at Home

Much of your oral health starts with daily routines at home. Here are some of the most important ways to protect your smile without stepping into a dental office:

• Brushing Your Teeth
  This one’s essential! Brush at least twice a day—especially after consuming sugary foods. Don’t forget to gently brush your tongue, too, to eliminate bacteria.
• Flossing
  Flossing daily removes plaque and food particles from between the teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach. It’s one of the most neglected but powerful ways to prevent decay and gum disease.
• Eat a Balanced Diet
  Reducing your intake of sugary foods and drinks can drastically lower your risk of cavities. Bacteria feed on sugar, so be mindful of your consumption. Also, drink plenty of water—especially after meals.
• Genetics
  Some people are naturally more prone to dental issues due to genetics. For example, saliva production varies from person to person, which can impact your susceptibility to cavities.
