Preventative Care for Healthy Teeth

We want you to have a beautiful smile and healthy teeth! We have put some information together to make sure you are taking the best preventive care for your teeth.

Preventative care: Every day

No matter the condition of your teeth, you should be brushing and flossing them at least twice every day. You should be brushing for at least two minutes after every meal.

Our tip: Ask us about dental products geared specifically towards your mouth. Everyone is different, and we can help find the products that work best for you

Preventative care: At least every 6 months

If your teeth are in good condition, you should come to see us for a checkup at least twice a year. If your teeth are predisposed to problems, you should be on the safe side and make an appointment for preventative care regularly.

Our tip: Come in for a consultation and make the next appointment after each visit.

Start 'em early

Proper oral hygiene habits are learned early. As soon as your toddler can manage a toothbrush (24-30 months), supervised brushing instructions can create beneficial habits that last a lifetime. Remember, children under 6 should be supervised at all times as swallowing toothpaste can be harmful.

The Relaxing Smile recommends a first dentist visit somewhere in the third year. Establishing regular visits at a young age has proven to improve the health and stability of adult teeth.
