Adult Hygiene
A healthy mouth starts at home! Here are some tooth tips to keep your smile healthy and beautiful:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, for two-minutes each time.
- Floss at least once per day to remove food debris and tarter that your toothbrush bristles cannot reach.
- Visit us regularly for a professional cleaning and exam. Dr. Jones recommends patients to visit once every four to six months.
- Don't sip and snack all day.
