When it comes to keeping your oral health and preventive care responsibilities in order, it can be helpful to organize the details by time. As a result, you can default to a natural rhythm regarding what you should be doing on a daily basis and throughout the year. Give your Riverside dentist a moment to layout a quick set of time intervals that just might help you keep your smile healthy with greater efficiency.

Once Every Day

Once every single day, you need to floss your teeth. Your Riverside dentist makes this suggestion because flossing is essential in protecting your smile from significant problems like gingivitis. Flossing will also help protect you from tooth decay – did you know you can develop cavities between your teeth, too? Find a floss you like, ask us for advice, and you will be very pleased the effectiveness of your dental hygiene.

Twice Every Day

Two times every single day (for two minutes a pop, that is) you should be brushing your teeth. In addition to your daily flossing, your brushing sessions make up an integral portion of your dental hygiene and your overall preventive care. Your Riverside dentist suggests you rely on the use of a soft-bristle toothbrush as well as fluoridated toothpaste free of abrasive ingredients.

Every Six Months

We should see your lovely smiling face in our practice once every six months. This is the suggested frequency for your preventive care visits. Your Riverside dentist and team will provide you with a comfortable dental cleaning and dental exam to help you keep your smile in optimal condition.
