Maintain Your Oral Health
Maintaining excellent oral health requires consistent oral care and regular professional attention. We recommend dental visits in our Beaverton office every six months to ensure optimal oral health and catch any potential issues early. Between visits, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and using fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque and bacteria.
Professional cleanings during your dental appointments will keep your teeth clean and healthy, removing tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot eliminate. Consider fluoride treatments to strengthen your teeth and provide additional protection against decay. Regular oral cancer screenings during your dental visits are crucial for early detection of any abnormalities.
By following these essential steps, you can maintain excellent oral health and prevent common dental issues like cavities and gum disease.
