Good dental hygiene is critical to the long-term health of your teeth. Brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day for up to two minutes and flossing is necessary to support proper dental hygiene. Add professional cleaning every 6 months by our skilled dental hygienists and your smile should be bright.
Proper dental hygiene is the first step toward preventing more serious issues with your teeth such as tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Our dental hygienists will be sure to clean and remove built up plaque, perform a fluoride treatment and review the overall health of your mouth with Dr. Hoertdoerfer. This appointment may include x-rays when appropriate and is always our first line of defense in helping you maintain healthy gums and teeth.
