A consistent at-home routine, along with a dental exam and cleaning every four to six months, is the best way to keep teeth healthy. We tell patients this every day, but there are still many who skip out on flossing or don’t keep up with their routine cleanings, putting their oral and overall health at risk. The mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body, so keeping it healthy is essential to a person’s well-being.

If it has been longer than six months or you cannot remember when you or your family had their last visit, now is the time to schedule an appointment. You might be surprised at the effect your summer snacking and sweets can have on your oral health. Read on to learn about the importance of routine dental care, especially after the summer.
