How Often You Should…?
One line of questioning that often comes up during visits with our patients has to do with how often certain aspects of dental care should happen. This is the type of stuff that patients often feel they should magically know. However, if a dentist has never spelled it out for you or if you haven’t received care in a while, it might be something you are simply unfamiliar with. To make sure you have the basics down, we offer answers to the most common questions we receive about frequency of oral health care.

We are happy to clarify by offering three simple details.
Your Smile Needs TLC
You might be surprised that your extremely hard, resilient teeth are not in need of the extremely tough love you might think they need to keep them clean and healthy. Instead, consistent TLC (tender loving care, that is) happens to be just what the dentist ordered! While this is an easy way to sum up what you should consider for your dental hygiene, you might need some more specifics to fully understand what we mean. Take some recommendations to heart, so you’re sure you’re cleaning your smile and protecting it.
