Oral health is important for everyone, as it can impact a person’s overall health and well-being. Many conditions that negatively affect the teeth, gums and overall oral health are preventable with proper care and regular check-ups by a licensed dentist, such as the team at Canatella Dental. Our team takes a preventative approach to dental care, ensuring our patients know and understand the importance of proper oral hygiene, and what they can do at home between check ups and professional cleanings. To improve your oral health, ensure you and your family members are seeing a dentist on a regular basis for routine check ups and professional cleanings. They will also recommend x-rays on a regular basis to monitor for any changes in your oral health and scan for early signs of issues and concerns. Your dentist will also walk you through how to properly clean your teeth at home, including brushing and flossing, and can flag any areas of concern that you should keep an eye on.
