At Claremont Dental Group in Claremont, we hold preventive dentistry in very high regard. Keeping teeth healthy is easier, cheaper, and overall much better than letting them develop into cavities and other problems.
We can provide you with the best treatment at Claremont Dental Group, but the damage that was done is rarely reversible. Keeping your natural teeth in perfect condition is a much better option than treating problematic dental issues.
Brushing and Flossing
Every dentist will recommend that you brush your teeth twice a day, and they would be right. Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is one of the cornerstones of optimal dental health. You should also floss once a day to get rid of any food particles stuck between your teeth.
Visiting a dentist every six months is vital. At these checkups, we’ll clean your teeth and remove any buildup of plaque or tartar. Leaving plaque in place increases the risk of gum inflammation, which can be hard to treat. We will also examine your mouth for any early signs of dental problems. The sooner we can treat them, the better.
Some people will need more frequent dental visits than others. We’ll let you know if you should visit us more than twice a year.
Diet
Eating a healthy diet is great for teeth and protects them. Getting enough vitamins and eating fruits and vegetables is recommended. We also suggest drinking a lot of water throughout the day. You should avoid sugars, both complex and simple.
We understand how hard it can be to visit a dentist, especially if you’re feeling fine. Dental visits aren’t the most pleasant thing in the world for a lot of people. Convincing someone to get his or her teeth checked while they feel fine can be difficult.
It’s still highly encouraged because the benefits are numerous. At Claremont Dental Group, we’ll do our best to make you feel comfortable during your visits. We strive to make getting quality dental care as accessible and pleasant as possible for everyone.
