Dental Hygiene

Why is dental hygiene so important?

While tooth enamel is one of the strongest substances in the body, it still needs to be cared for to lower the risk of damage, including periodontal disease and tooth decay that can significantly impact the natural teeth. By brushing your teeth after each meal, flossing at least once a day, and visiting the dentist as recommended, many patients can keep their smiles free from periodontal disease and cavities. However, without a proactive approach to oral hygiene, patients may experience problems that, if left ignored, can lead to multiple challenges down the road, such as tooth loss, infections, and even death.

At All Smiles Dental, we want you to have your teeth for life.

We want you to be able to eat what you want and not what you can.

What are the steps to good dental hygiene?

Below are a few recommendations to maintain a healthy smile: 

Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush after each meal.
Floss after each meal, or at least once a day, to remove food particles that become trapped between your teeth.
Schedule routine visits for cleanings by a dental hygienist and examinations from our dentists to look for early signs of decay, disease, or infection. Call the dental office for an appointment as soon as changes or problems arise, as early detection, diagnosis, and treatment are vital for maintaining your smile for life.
