Routine Care & Oral Hygiene

Oral hygiene and routine dental care are the foundation of oral health. Oral hygiene starts at home and should always be supplemented with a visit to the dentist for routine examinations and cleanings twice per year. 

To prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues, it’s important to brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and of course, visit your dentist on a regular basis.

At Smile Exchange, we are committed to providing patients with personalized care in a welcoming environment. If you’re due for a dental visit or have concerns about your oral health, schedule an appointment at one of our offices and see why Smile Exchange patients consistently leave five-star reviews.

You should see your dentist at least twice per year and work with him or her to create a customized oral health plan that fits your needs. At every routine visit, your dentist will screen you for any potential oral health issues and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. This is a great time to ask questions and get the information you need.

At home, you should brush your teeth and tongue twice per day with a soft-tufted toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove harmful plaque and bacteria. It’s also important to remember to floss between all of your teeth at least once per day.
