Staying On Top Of Your Oral Health

Dr. Kevin Hogan • November 11, 2019

The nature of gum disease and tooth decay can be hereditary. Even with the best of oral hygiene, some people suffer with the misfortune of bad dental problems because of their family dental history. If this is the case, you should stay on top of your oral health the best you can by seeing your dentist frequently and routinely brushing and flossing your teeth.

If these oral health issues are not hereditary and you continue to find yourself having cavities and bleeding gums, seek dental help to find out what you could be doing better for your oral hygiene. Everyone should be aware of how bad tooth decay and gum diseases can become and how gum disease can impact your heart health.

Here are some tips to recognize when taking care of your oral health :

  • It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day
  • Flossing daily will remove the debris and plaque from in between the teeth
  • Using tooth care products with fluoride will protect the teeth
  • Replace your toothbrush around every 3 months for the best health
  • Visit your dentist regularly
