Wellington Office:
Practicing Good Oral Hygiene for a Healthy Smile
Maintaining a healthy smile goes beyond regular dental checkups; it’s about consistent home care and visiting our office for preventive treatments. We’re here to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life by providing complete dental care and showing you how to maintain your smile between visits.
Dental Cleanings and Regular Checkups - Essential for Your Oral Health
Regular dental checkups are a crucial part of maintaining your oral health. During your routine visit, our hygienist will:
- Check for hidden problems that you may not notice, like cavities or signs of tooth decay
- Examine your teeth and gums for gingivitis and other signs of periodontal disease
- Perform a thorough cleaning, rinsing, and polishing to remove plaque and tartar
Visiting our office every six months gives you the opportunity to ask questions about your oral health and learn about new treatments that could benefit your smile.
Choosing the Right Toothpaste and Toothbrush
Selecting the right dental products is essential for maintaining a healthy smile. When choosing a toothpaste, mouthwash, or toothbrush, be sure to look for those that are approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).
Our team can also recommend the best dental products for your specific needs, ensuring that you have the tools to care for your teeth effectively at home.
