Seeing your dentist for your recommended twice-a-year dental cleaning and oral exam will help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Making sure you make it in for these appointments will also allow your local Carrollton, Texas, dentist to identify any developing oral health issues at their earliest stages so that you can receive treatment that can often be less costly and complex than if these same issues are identified when more visible or painful symptoms arise. Dr. Adnan Saleem and the team at Hebron Smiles and Smilebliss Orthodontics welcome you for a dental cleaning and examination and would like to provide some tips to allow you to enjoy the benefits of these appointments for longer.
When it comes to ensuring the benefits you receive from a teeth cleaning last as long as they should, the easiest and most important thing you can do is practice proper oral hygiene at home. Just because your teeth look and feel clean following a professional cleaning does not mean you should cut back on brushing, flossing, and rinsing from home. Concentrate on proper brushing and flossing techniques, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and avoid overbrushing.
You can enhance the benefits of your dental cleaning by consuming a well-balanced diet that includes foods and drinks that offer natural tooth-cleaning protection. Foods like crunchy vegetables and fruits can help increase saliva production, which can help neutralize cavity-causing acids and clean your teeth. Calcium-rich foods, including dairy products and vegetables like broccoli and spinach, can help strengthen your tooth’s enamel. Ensuring you eat a varied and balanced diet with limited added sugars can do wonders for your smile.
