With February being National Dental Health Month we felt it was appropriate to kick off our new Caldwell, Bills, Petrilli & West blog with 5 easy steps to help achieve a Bright and Healthy Smile!
Brush Regularly
It is important to take time to brush at least twice daily. Following this simple routine can help remove plaque build up and help reduce the chance of tooth decay – helping maintain a bright and healthy smile. All it takes is 2 minutes with a good toothbrush and toothpaste.
Floss Daily
We all know we need to do it, so don’t make it optional. Practicing good flossing technique allows you to reach between teeth and below the gumline where regular brushing doesn’t reach.
Eat Healthy Foods
Not only does unhealthy eating affect your overall health and wellness, it can also impact your smile. Poor eating habits can reduce your bodies ability to fight off gum disease. Healthy food, healthy body, healthy smile!
Protect Your Teeth
If you play sports, take the time to get a proper fitting mouthguard to protect your smile. Also avoid habits such as chewing on pens, chewing ice or biting your nails.
Regular Dentist Visits
We love seeing our patients and providing a deeper cleaning that they just can’t achieve at home. Regular visits to the Dentist Office can help you maintain a bright and healthy smile and also identify any problem areas before they get even worse. So don’t miss out on making your 2 visits each year.
These are just some simple ways for you to help achieve and maintain a bright and healthy smile all year long. Should you have any other questions, our friendly staff is always happy to answer them at your next visit. To make your appointment simply give us a call at 704-543-7001.
