Keep Your Smile Strong Between Visits
That just-from-the-dentist clean feeling doesn’t have to fade fast. With a few simple habits, you can keep your smile bright and your gums healthy all year long.
- Brush twice a day — two minutes, gentle circles, soft bristles.
- Floss daily — it’s the easiest way to prevent plaque buildup.
- Watch your sugar intake — especially in drinks and snacks.
- Stay hydrated — water helps rinse away food particles and bacteria.
Good daily care plus regular checkups is the perfect formula for a confident, healthy smile that lasts.
Because your best dental care doesn’t just happen twice a year — it happens every day.

Why Regular Dental Checkups Are Worth It
You brush. You floss. So do you really need to see the dentist twice a year?
Absolutely.
Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing and flossing can’t reach — and early checkups catch small issues before they turn into big ones.
Think of it as preventive maintenance for your smile:
Cleanings keep your teeth bright and healthy.
Exams spot cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early.
Advice keeps your at-home routine on track.
Your oral health is part of your overall health — and a healthy smile is always worth the visit.
Schedule your next checkup today and keep that post-floss freshness going strong!

The Right Way to Brush (It Matters!)
Brushing twice a day? Great start. But how you brush makes all the difference.
Here are a few simple tips to make every brushing session count:
- Use a soft-bristled brush — gentle on gums, tough on plaque.
- Brush for two full minutes (set a timer — or play your favorite song).
- Angle the bristles toward your gumline to clean where buildup hides.
- Don’t forget your tongue — it’s a hotspot for bacteria.
Small habits. Big results. Your smile deserves the best care — and it starts with how you brush.

Flossing: The Small Step That Makes a Big Difference
Brushing your teeth? Essential.
Flossing every day? Just as important.
Floss reaches the spots your toothbrush can’t — removing plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline. Skipping it can lead to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease (even if you brush like a pro).
The good news? It only takes a minute or two a day to protect your smile for the long haul.
Pro tip: Not a fan of traditional floss? Try floss picks or a water flosser — the best kind of floss is the one you’ll actually use.
Tiny habit. Big payoff. Your gums (and your dentist) will thank you.
