Do you ever wonder if you are actually doing all you can to protect your teeth from cavities and other oral health threats? In fact, lately, have you been worried that you could actually be suffering from a cavity, now, without even knowing it? Many people want to know more about what is truly required to keep the smile looking and feeling its best, yet they shy away from asking their dentist questions, either out of shyness or embarrassment. The good news is that preventive dental care is neither complicated or costly. It just requires you to form some healthy habits, in order to keep both your teeth and your gums healthy as you age!

Don’t Guess At What You Need to Do to Prevent Cavities

Most adults were taught that they should brush their teeth twice a day, to protect against cavities, and when surveys are conducted, most say that they do so diligently. Yet few people remember to floss daily, even though that simple act is just as essential to great oral health.

So if you really want to keep your smile healthy, make sure flossing is a part of your daily oral hygiene routine.

Of course, you should also be protecting your smile by seeing your dentist regularly for key preventive care, in other words regular checkups and cleanings. These visits give the dentist a chance to check for burgeoning issues, before they can create widespread problems.

Most dentists agree that the vast majority of patients should see their dentist at least twice a year for preventive care.
