Prevention

Dr. Dana Price is specialized in the area of preventative dental care. Any doctor will tell you that preventative care is the best way to stay healthy.
Preventative care is the responsibility of the patient as well as the hygienist. The oral care of the mouth at home is as important as the examination in our office.  To ensure that you understand how to best take care of your teeth bewtween visits to our office, we will show you proper tooth brushing and flossing routines are to establish effective home care. If diet and nutrition attribute to decay, an evaluation and discussion may help the client develop habits that will reduce the amount of any new deterioration.

To start improving your dental health today, make sure you are doing the following:

• Properly brushing and flossing. Start by making sure you are brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Did you know it is best to floss before bed?
•  Establish these healthy dental habits as part of your every-day routine. Doing so will point out irregularities with diet and nutrition, which may affect the health of your teeth and gums.
• Get regular Oral Cancer screenings – especially when hereditary issues may exist.
