Cleanings & Prevention

Cleanings & Prevention

Proper oral hygiene and preventative care are crucial elements to good oral health. Preventive care begins at home. It’s recommended by the American Dental Association that individuals brush their teeth at least twice a day and floss once. For best results, we suggest using products that contain the ADA Seal of Acceptance. This will help protect you from common issues like tooth decay or gum disease.

At-home care alone is not enough. Maintain a well-rounded diet, staying away from sugary food and drinks. It is also essential to schedule regular dental checkups. Proper at-home care doesn’t compare to the expertise and skills of a dentist. There are some things you simply can’t detect or treat on your own. Preventative care also keeps you from needing restorative procedures in the future. 

Proper oral hygiene and dental exams are crucial for a healthy and beautiful smile. To schedule your appointment with Petri Dental, call us today at (714) 881-5500.
