Do you think your adult smile is invulnerable to dental issues? If so, that is incorrect. Your smile can still fall victim to every dental issue, especially tooth decay. However, the good news is that there are things you can do to keep cavities at bay.
First, clean your smile on a daily basis. Keeping up on oral hygiene means brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing daily. These techniques can remove bacteria and other harmful substances from your teeth and gums before they attack and harm them. As you clean your mouth, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, floss that is easy to use, and antibacterial mouthwash.
Second, visit your dentist every six months. It’s important to visit Dr. Daniel Wood twice a year for a routine dental cleaning and exam because the treatment we provide is the only treatment that can completely remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. These are dangerous and extremely toxic substances. We also offer additional treatments that can strengthen and nourish your teeth, like fluoride and dental sealants, that give the teeth the ability to fight tooth decay. So, please make sure to attend your appointments.
Third, have a diet that is healthy for your smile. To do so, you can eat tooth-healthy foods regularly, like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. These things can strengthen your tooth enamel and wash away harmful bacteria frequently.
If you do these things, you’ll be on your way to a cavity-free smile in Twin Falls, Idaho. To learn more, please call New Horizon Dental, PLLC at 208-733-0494 at your earliest convenience.
