Between visits to our dentist, you are responsible for maintaining the health and cleanliness of your teeth and mouth. At Timeless Dental in The Woodlands, Texas, Dr. John Rodriquez and his team are happy to provide you with helpful dental hygiene tips and product recommendations.
While our team works hard to improve your oral health during your visits, it is essential that you continue caring for your smile at home with consistent oral hygiene practices. Good dental hygiene involves daily habits that help keep your smile healthy and bright. Our dentistand team recommend following these basic steps to maintain optimal oral health:
- Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride.
- Floss at least once a day, preferably before bed, to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods, which can contribute to tooth decay.
- Keep your regular dental appointments every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional cleaning and a thorough exam to ensure we address any preventive or restorative treatments you may need.
When you visit our office, we will review your dental hygiene habits and provide additional advice on steps you can take to further improve your oral health. To learn more about dental hygiene and schedule your next appointment, we encourage you to call or visit us today.
