Brushing, flossing, and rinsing are all ways to keep your mouth healthy, but there are other important steps that can help you maintain your healthy, beautiful smile. Research shows that good oral health directly affects your general overall body health! A healthy diet, limiting sweets, soda pop, and acid-containing liquids will also improve oral health. Staying on a normal recall schedule with a dental hygienist and dentist will help find problems when they are small and can be corrected more easily.
