Teeth for Life

Water Flosser

Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your smile by visiting our office regularly and taking care of your teeth and gums between checkups. We want to make sure you get the most out of your office visits, and your teeth stay healthy for life!

We’ll work with you to provide complete dental care, and show you how to maintain your smile at home with the right dental products for you and your family.

Dental Cleanings and Regular Checkups

Regular dental checkups are an essential part of maintaining your oral health. During your regular checkup, your hygienist will:

  • Check for any problems you may not see or feel
  • Look for cavities or other signs of tooth decay
  • Inspect your teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease
  • Perform a thorough teeth cleaning, rinse, and polish

Visiting our office every six months gives you the chance to ask us any questions you may have about your oral health. Checkups are also a great way for you to find out about new treatments that may benefit your smile.

Choosing the Right Toothpaste and Toothbrush

From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and dental floss, it’s important to choose the right products for your smile. Keep in mind that when you’re looking for a new toothpaste or toothbrush, be sure to choose one that has been approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Lodhi or Dr. Bally can also help by recommending certain dental products for use at home.

Getting to know your teeth can be fun and educational!
