How can I improve my oral health between dentist visits?
To maintain optimal oral health, brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque between teeth, and limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Drinking plenty of water and using a mouthwash can also help. Regular oral hygiene habits play a significant role in preventing dental problems.
What should I do if I have dental anxiety?
Dental visits can be stressful for some patients, and we’re here to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Our team is dedicated to creating a calm, supportive environment, and we offer sedation options to help you feel more at ease during treatment.
