Routine Dental Examinations

Routine dental examination visits are usually an essential and critical step in maintaining good oral health. There are more to dental visits than identifying potential problems or underlying illness. Seeing your dentists regularly help keep your teeth healthier since teeth tend to be worn out over time and require cleanings and proper treatments. Gums help hold your teeth in place, and they are susceptible to cuts, scrapes, and cancer, so you must visit the dentist to keep them strong and healthy. Your oral hygiene consists of healthy teeth and gums.

Regular visits are the key, but it is not entirely enough to keep your teeth and gum health, so it is recommended to have a good home care routine.

• When purchasing a toothbrush, it is recommended to buy a soft-bristled brush
• Gently brush your teeth twice per day
• Use fluoride toothpaste
• Floss your teeth twice per day using proper techniques
