In between regular visits to your dentist, there are simple steps that each of us can take to greatly decrease the risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease and other dental problems.

These include:

• Brush thoroughly twice a day and floss daily
• Eat a balanced, nutrient dense diet
• Rinse your mouth with a mouth-rinse if advised by the Smile Sensations team
• Schedule bi-annual dental cleanings and oral exams
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months

The following are indications of good oral hygiene:

• Teeth are clean and free of debris
• Gums are pink and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss
• Bad breath is not a constant problem

Even with the best oral hygiene habits, gum disease can occur.
