Your Dental Care: When What You’re Doing Isn’t Effective
You feel like you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing when the topic of your personal dental care comes up. However, it’s become blatantly obvious to you that whatever you’re doing simply isn’t working because you’re not seeing the results that most patients desire: A clean, healthy smile that’s free of significant staining, cavities, and more. So, what can you do at this point, you wonder, when you’re doing your best but it simply isn’t enough? The answer is an easy one! Schedule a dental checkup with our Saxonburg, PA team and we’ll help you figure it all out. For now, consider some of our guesses into what’s going on.
Something’s Amiss With Your Approach
You’re brushing! You’re flossing! You’re checking off those boxes from your dental care to-do list but still … your smile feels unclean, you’re developing cavities, your teeth look yellow, and you’re not very happy about these details. We remind you that though you may technically be brushing and flossing, if you’re not using effective products, your technique is off, or you’re inconsistent, (and the list goes on), it might leave you without a very clean smile. Come in and review your approach with us soon.
You’re Only Following Through On Home Care
This is one plain and simple fact that patients can overlook but that’s important to remember: Even with your best efforts in home dental care, your prevention isn’t complete. You need checkups and cleanings with us! Without them, your home care can’t be as effective and you’ll end up with oral health problems!
It’s What You’re Doing Between Hygiene Sessions
Yes, if you brush twice a day, floss once a day, and see us for your preventive dental care visits, then you are probably going to be just fine. That is, assuming you’re giving some amount of thought to how you’re treating your teeth when they’re not being cleaned by yourself or by our team. Remember, if you drink coffee all day long, you snack on candy with reckless abandon, etc., then these choices can play into the development of oral health problems. A simple change in your habits (which can be as simple as drinking water and then brushing after sweet or acidic snacks) can make all the difference. Talk with us about your day-to-day life during your next checkup and we can help uncover potential hazards and help you protect your smile.
