Cavity prevention is extremely important, and if you want to keep tooth decay away from your smile, our dental team has some helpful tips for you! There are things you should do on a regular basis to wash the harmful particles away from your chompers. Those things are:
-Clean your smile: For the best smile results possible, it’s best to brush your teeth twice a day, floss your smile once a day, and rinse your mouth with mouthwash daily. As you brush, use a soft-bristled toothbrush. It doesn’t matter if it’s a manual or electric brush. As you rinse, use a beneficial mouthwash, like antibacterial mouthwash.
-Use fluoride: Fluoride is a beneficial mineral that strengthens and nourishes your teeth. So, make sure you take advantage of our professional fluoride treatment when you come into our office. We also recommend using fluoride each day by using fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash.
-Visit your dentist: Visiting your dentist, Dr. David Blackhurst, every six months for your dental cleaning and checkup is the best thing you can do for your smile. These appointments allow our team to deeply clean your smile as well as prevent and treat any dental problems.
If you do these things, you will have the beautiful and healthy smile you deserve. Tooth decay is a common dental problem that many people suffer with.
