What we Offer Patients is Preventive Dentistry Care.
Vineyard Heights Dental emphasizes the significance of preventive dentistry and how it can keep your smile healthy. We take great pleasure in encouraging our patients to practice preventive care, and want to share with them 10 tips that can make a significant difference for their oral health if implemented into daily habits.
1. Regular oral hygiene is necessary to keep your teeth healthy and clean. This includes flossing daily and brushing twice daily.
2. Regular visits to your dentist are encouraged. At least once every six months, your dentist should perform a professional cleaning in order to detect potential issues early and avoid more serious ones in the future.
3. Sugary drinks and foods should be limited. Sugar can lead to tooth decay and cavities, so limit sugary treats as well as sweet drinks with lots of added sugar.
4. Avoid smoking or using tobacco products. Smoking can lead to various oral health issues such as bad breath, plaque buildup, and gum infection.
5. Hydrate regularly. Water is essential for good overall health and it also helps keep your mouth fresh by dislodging food particles and bacteria.
6. Limit alcohol intake – Excess alcohol can dry out your mouth, increasing the risk of infection and bacteria in your mouth.
7. Use fluoride toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay and cavities.
8. Eating healthy snacks is easy – opt for items like fruits, vegetables, nuts or other nutritious options that are low in sugar but high in nutrients.
9. When participating in sports, wear a mouthguard to safeguard your teeth.
10. Be alert to the warning signs and symptoms of dental health problems. Be aware of signs for tooth decay, gum disease and other issues so you can seek treatment as soon as possible.
These preventive tips will give your smile the perfect shine and protect you from potential dental issues.
