Prevention is the best medicine. That’s an approach that applies to absolutely every aspect of your health. If you can avoid a problem, you should do everything you can to ensure that you do! The same goes for your child’s dental health.

Many people don’t realize the importance of preventive techniques until after they’ve had their first severe dental problem. Studying up on the facts now and making sure you have a dose of the most up-to-date dental knowledge will help you keep your smile bright and healthy for decades to come.

Preventative dental care, at its core, is all about at-home care. This care needs to be consistent, meaning brushing twice a day every day for two minutes at a time. Using the right toothbrush and toothpaste is also important for ensuring that you’re doing everything you can to prevent dental problems.

Flossing, as you’ve probably been told before, is very important to maintaining a healthy smile. Flossing is essential for getting food particles out from in-between your teeth where the toothbrush can’t reach them. If they are allowed to stay impacting in there, they can lead to tooth decay (cavities) by harboring harmful bacteria that will eventually build up and start damaging your teeth. A professional dental cleaning at least twice a year will also help prevent tooth decay.

Tooth decay may sound scary, but the good news is that preventative care can prevent tooth decay and other dental issues. Need to brush up on your skills? Talk to your dentist at your next cleaning about the importance of preventative care and the tools you should be using to keep your smile healthy.
