Good dental hygiene is linked to a decreased risk of heart disease and helps you maintain healthy teeth and a great smile.
You should visit your dental hygienist regularly to support your at-home dental hygiene routine.
Why is maintaining good dental hygiene so important?
Good dental hygiene is important not only for your mouth and smile but for your overall health. Poor dental hygiene is linked to an increased risk of health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Women who are pregnant and don’t maintain proper oral hygiene are also at a higher risk for giving birth prematurely or having their babies born underweight.
What can I do to support good dental hygiene at home?
While regular visits to your dental hygienist are important, good dental hygiene begins at home.
Brushing and flossing at least twice a day is a great start, and you may need additional steps depending on your age and health history. We can help you find the best oral hygiene routine for your health and your smile.
