The key to long term oral health is prevention! This is done through controlling the bacteria in the mouth. Depending on your personal needs and level of health, Dr. Smith and his team will ensure this basic but vital component of your oral health is maximized. Oral hygiene and instruction are key in not only teaching you how, but why, cleaning, diet and habits all contribute to a healthy mouth and beautiful smile.

Establishing an oral healthcare routine is easier said than done for some people. However, your at-home care really doesn’t need to be too intensive. Brush and floss morning and night, use fluoridated mouthwash to complement those two, and be sure to follow any special instruction from our dentist.

Chances are you’ll see your dentist more often than most other doctors. You should be coming to see our dentist at least twice a year, or every six months. Should you need to come more often, Dr. Smith will let you know. Regular visits allow us to keep track of your oral health.
