A vibrant, functional smile requires consistent attention and care. Maintaining optimal oral health depends on effective daily dental hygiene, nutritious eating habits, regular dental checkups, professional cleanings, and a comprehensive preventive care program.

While diligent brushing and flossing at home are essential, even the most thorough home care can miss certain areas between teeth and along the gumline.
