Routine dental visits are essential, but maintaining good oral health starts at home. At Afton Family Dental, Dr. Corey Christensen and our team are here to support your daily care by helping you build strong, effective brushing and flossing habits.
Why is Dental Hygiene Important?
During your visit, we’ll review your current hygiene practices and offer practical tips to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy between checkups. A consistent, well-informed routine can reduce your risk of decay, gum disease, and other common issues—saving you time and discomfort in the long run.
A strong oral hygiene routine includes:
- Brushing at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing daily to clean between the teeth and along the gumline
- Eating a balanced diet and limiting sugary or acidic foods
- Scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams every six months
Our goal is to help you protect your smile with the right tools, techniques, and knowledge. Reach out to Afton Family Dental today to book a visit with Dr. Christensen and take the next step toward healthier habits and long-term oral wellness.
