If you are one of the many people who jump into spring cleaning mode as the weather turns warmer, our Santa Monica dentists are here to encourage you to apply this same mindset to your oral health. Keep reading to learn more about the steps you can take to rejuvenate your smile…
Professional Cleaning
As you are completing your spring cleaning, don’t forget about your oral health! The general recommendation from the American Dental Association is that patients undergo professional cleanings every six months. Using professional tools and formulations, our dental team is able to eliminate more plaque and tartar than at-home cleanings from your smile.
At-Home Refresh
Speaking of at-home dental care, now is a great time to upgrade your routine with fresh, clean, and effective dental tools. Toothbrushes become less effective over time, as the bristles wear down. Take a look also at the floss and toothpaste you are using—ensure that the products you have chosen are effectively clearing away dental debris and bacteria.
Set Goals
As part of your spring cleaning process, take the time to write down some specific oral health and dentistry goals for the coming months. You may, for example, make it a point to whiten your teeth using over-the-counter or professional formulations. Or maybe you want to focus on achieving fresh breath that lasts, by treating periodontal disease. Regardless of your specific oral health intention, our dental team is here to help you meet your goals.
