The basics of proper oral care

Taking care of your mouth is a crucial part of maintaining a beautiful, healthy smile. Working with your dental team helps you enjoy a healthy mouth. Your role is to follow good oral practices at home, including:

  • Brushing your teeth at least twice per day
  • Flossing once daily
  • Rinsing with mouthwash or an oral irrigator
  • Replacing your toothbrush every four to six months
  • Visiting your dentist for cleanings every six months or as recommended

The purpose of dental cleanings

Professional cleanings deep clean your teeth, getting deep into those hard to reach places and to assess any issues that may have come up. During the appointment, you can expect to have your teeth cleaned and polished to remove built up plaque and tartar. A fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen the teeth.

Your dentist then assesses your teeth to check for signs of decay and periodontal disease. X-rays may be performed to check the overall structures of your mouth. By visiting the dentist regularly, if problems do appear, they are usually caught early, which increases the likelihood of successful treatment. The goal is to maintain the health and integrity of your teeth and gums. Routine exams are a crucial part of achieving that goal.

Whether you are currently experiencing dental problems or are searching for a trusted dentist for your family, contact Family Dental Health of South Asheville. Schedule an appointment with our family friendly dentist, Dr. Christopher Port today. You belong here. 828 585 4049

5 Dentist Asheville - 5 Star Review
Ashley Hanes
As someone who hasn't been to the dentist in a LONG time, I must say, everyone there makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door until you leave. I'm so glad my friend recommended Family Dental Health of South Asheville to me, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist or a new dentist. This place is full of wonderful people, it is extremely clean and very comfortable (massage chairs). Plus there are cookies!
