With the holiday’s seasons fast approaching, it’s easy to get caught up in bad oral habits and stress. However, it’s important to keep up with your oral care and visit your dentist. By visiting your dentist regularly, you can limit your chances of developing tooth decay and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, causes serious problems to your oral health. However, there are steps you can take to boost your oral health and maintain a healthy smile.
Maintaining positive oral health is easy when you follow the three basic steps of proper oral care. That is why it’s vital to remember the basic stops so you can keep your smile clean and fresh.
These basic steps include:
•
Brushing your teeth twice a day: Brushing your teeth twice a day will keep your teeth and gum line happy.
•
Flossing every day: Flossing each day will also improve your overall gum health. Excess plaque
between the teeth can lead to buildup, which causes cavities and gum disease.
•
Visiting your dentist every six months: During these appointments, your dentist checks for problems that can lead
to gum disease. Your dentist will also provide a deep dental cleaning
to help you fight cavities.
If you have any questions about your oral care, please contact your dentist. Your dentist will be able to address any questions or concerns you have pertaining to your oral care. So, call us today and schedule an appointment. Let us give you a healthy smile you can truly show off this holiday season.
