Your daily oral hygiene routine is essential to having a healthy smile. Brushing your teeth, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly can help you avoid cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. At Skinner Dental, we believe that preventive dentistry is the best option for protecting your teeth and gums and helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.

While each patient’s needs are different, we generally recommend visiting the dentist for a professional cleaning and exam every six months. That way, our experienced doctors can remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can’t reach at home and check your teeth and gums for signs of oral disease. If you require more frequent cleanings due to your oral health, we’re here to accommodate your schedule.

When you visit Skinner Dental for your teeth cleaning, our friendly team will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. We remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and help eliminate surface stains. Your exam also allows our experienced doctors to screen you for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues.

If you notice bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, swollen gums, tender gums,sensitive teeth, plaque buildup, or cavities, your oral hygiene may need some improvement. The team at Skinner Dental wants to help you restore your oral health and minimize your risk of future dental problems, so please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment today.

Brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing daily, and eating a balanced diet are all important for your oral health. You should also avoid consuming too many foods and drinks high in sugar. Another tip? Be sure to replace your toothbrush every three to four months and keep up with your routine dental checkups.

Good dental hygiene can help you maintain your overall health! Research suggests that poor oral health may increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more. At Skinner Dental, we encourage healthy oral hygiene habits that support not only your smile but your overall health and quality of life.
