Twice-daily brushing and regular flossing are excellent for maintenance between office visits, but a healthy mouth and beautiful smile require routine preventative care to stay that way.

A clean, healthy, beautiful smile begins with proper hygiene and preventative care. To keep yours as dazzling as possible, follow these quick and easy but essential tips:

• You should schedule a cleaning and oral examination with your dentist at least every six months
  
• Floss daily and, if possible, after every meal
  
• Brush your teeth at least twice daily

Our practice has a team of knowledgeable, highly skilled, friendly, and caring hygienists to help with all of your preventative needs. We offer preventative care that includes regular oral examinations and cleanings, fluoride, sealants for children, and periodontal (gum disease) treatments designed to help you maintain your smile’s health and beauty. We care about your overall health too; a throat and mouth cancer screening will be performed at every check-up.
