Smiles Stay Bright with Hall Cosmetic & Family Dentistry
Regular checkups are crucial for maintaining healthy, happy smiles throughout the year.
The Magic Number: Maintaining Oral Health Every Six Months
The American Dental Association recommends at least biannual visits for a reason. These checkups allow our team to:
- Perform cleanings: Removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing miss.
- Conduct thorough examinations: Detecting early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns.
- Take digital X-rays: Revealing hidden issues below the surface.
- Monitor oral cancer: Screening for early detection and promoting peace of mind.
Brushing & Flossing: Teamwork for Top-Tier Teeth
- Twice a day for two minutes: Aim for this golden standard for optimal cleaning.
- Target all surfaces: Don’t neglect those hard-to-reach areas.
- Soft bristles & perfect fit: Choose a toothbrush that’s gentle on your gums and reaches every nook and cranny.
- Morning & bedtime: Make brushing a part of your daily routine.
Flossing: The Forgotten Friend
- Reach beyond the brush: Flossing tackles plaque and food particles between teeth where brushing can’t reach.
- Start young: Instill good flossing habits early for lifelong benefits.
- Morning routine magic: Add flossing to your brushing routine for a complete clean.
