Dental hygiene, preventative dental care and a balanced lifestyle are the most effective ways to keep teeth and gums in optimal health.
A daily brushing, flossing and mouthwash regime, as well as a balanced diet, can improve oral and dental health.
Regular visits to the Arlington dentist and routine hygienist appointments can also reduce the risk of tooth decay, cavities and gum disease.
How often do I need to see the dentist?
For optimal oral care, we recommend coming to see your dentist in Arlington every six months.
A twice-yearly dental check-up and hygiene cleaning can remove plaque, bacteria and tartar build-up in hard-to-reach parts of your mouth. This will leave your teeth feeling fresh and looking great.
Dr. Rima Kanbaragha will be able to identify any early signs of tooth decay or damage. You will also receive personalized advice on the most effective daily oral and dental care to keep your teeth in prime health.
How can I improve dental hygiene at home?
Brushing your teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste is the most effective way to maintain good dental health. We also recommend changing your toothbrush every three months.
The friendly staff at our Arlington dental clinic will be happy to advise you on the most appropriate type of toothbrush for your teeth. Our dental staff also proudly accepts dental appointments from patients in Crystal City and D.C.
Flossing your teeth once a day and rinsing your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash can also optimize oral health.
Is it possible to reduce the risk of dental problems?
Healthy lifestyle choices such as eating a balanced diet, limiting tobacco and taking regular exercise can help reduce dental issues such as gum disease and tooth decay.
- Cut down or stop smoking.
- Reduce high sugar drinks.
- Moderate sweet or starchy foods.
