Episode 21: Dental Health Checklist for an Ideal Smile with Dr. Julie Phillips
Dental Health Checklist for an Ideal Smile with Dr. Julie Phillips
It is the first thing people notice about us, and it can make or break a first impression. A healthy smile is a reflection of a healthy life. It is important to keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy to have a great smile.
In order to achieve this, it is important to follow a dental health checklist for an ideal smile. The first step would be brushing twice a day with toothpaste. This helps remove plaque that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. The second step would be flossing once or twice a day for about 30 seconds or until the thread goes cleanly through the teeth. It is also necessary to brush after eating any type of food as well as drink plenty of water throughout the day. The last step would be visiting your dentist at least twice every year for an oral exam, cleaning, and x-rays if needed. Learn more with Dr.Julie Phillips in this episode.
