Start 2015 Off Right with a Solid Dental Routine

SealantsHave you made your new year’s resolutions yet? As 2014 winds down and we look ahead to 2015, now is the perfect time to resolve to make healthy choices throughout the upcoming year. This may include improving your diet or starting an exercise routine. Have you considered how you can resolve to take better care of your smile?

Resolve to Keep Your Smile Strong
Maintaining a solid oral care routine doesn’t have to be difficult! Follow these simple steps to keep your smile bright and healthy:

1. Follow a daily brushing and flossing routine.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day and be sure to floss at least once a day. Brushing and flossing consistently can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Bonus: swish daily with antibacterial mouth rinse to further help prevent problems.

2. Eat a balanced diet.
Enjoy a variety of healthy foods and limit your intake of sugar. Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, which can help strengthen your teeth and bolster your overall health. If you do have a sugary snack, be sure to brush your teeth afterward to ward off decay.

3. Book your next cleaning.
Regular hygiene appointments with Dr. Lakota can help keep your smile healthy and strong. If you haven’t booked your next appointment, resolve to call immediately at (815) 730-9600 to schedule your first 2015 cleaning.
