Dental Hygiene

Your oral health is more important than you might think. Oral health is not only the key to healthy teeth, gums, and smile, but is also directly tied to your overall health as well. Learn more from our family and pediatric dentistry in Jupiter and West Palm Beach.
 
Benefits
We want you to be invested in daily preventative care to thwart issues before it progresses. You can expect to see plenty of benefits by adhering to an oral hygiene routine including:
- Healthy gums
- Prevents plaque and tartar buildup
- Basic gum disease preventative
- Thwarts harmful oral bacteria

Evaluation
A great way to improve your dental hygiene is to make regularly scheduled appointments. We provide tooth decay and gum disease exams to ensure that your mouth is in tip top shape. Oral cancer screenings are a great way to identify and treat underlying diseases.
 
Toothbrushing Tips

- Use back-and-forth strokes
- Always brush tongue for fresher breath
 
Flossing Tips

BRUSH & FLOSS DAILY
Our dentists recommend that you brush your teeth at least twice per day and floss daily. This not only keeps your teeth looking and feeling fresh, but also helps prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues from developing.
 
 
FLUORIDE
Fluoride helps rebuild weak areas of the teeth and protects them from being broken down by acids when sugars in food combine with saliva. Incorporating toothpastes and over-the-counter mouth rinses that contain fluoride is a great way to keep your teeth strong and healthy.
 
 
EAT SMART
Eat a mouth-healthy and balanced diet full of low-fat dairy, lean proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, try to avoid starchy, sugary, or sticky foods as well as snacks in between meals.
 
 
DRINK WISELY
Swap your soda, sports drinks, and juices for water. While sugary beverages coat teeth, soften enamel, and leave your teeth susceptible to tooth decay, water helps keep your mouth clean and healthy.
