With the holidays right around the corner, many of us will be meeting with family and friends and indulging in all kinds of goodies. While your dentist in Gaithersburg, MD encourages fun and wants you to enjoy your time, it is also essential to be vigilant when it comes to your dental health.

Schedule Your Dental Exam and Teeth Cleaning in Gaithersburg, MD

The American Dental Association and your dentist in Gaithersburg, MD encourages you to visit the dentist twice yearly for dental exams and professional teeth cleanings. If you haven’t scheduled your second visit for the year, contact our dental office today to get your dental exam and professional teeth cleaning.

If you’ve already visited your dentist in Gaithersburg twice this year, consider scheduling your first dental exam and teeth cleaning following the holidays. It’s a great chance to kick off 2020 with a healthy smile.

A regular dental exam spots the issues that can become problematic later, and professional teeth cleaning, rids your teeth of the tartar and bacteria that may lead to cavities, infections, or gum disease.

Oral Health Tips for the Holiday Season

We recommend brushing and flossing at least twice per day, but if you’re indulging in sugary snacks, you may consider an extra tooth brushing.

Additionally, don’t skimp on your oral health routine. We want you to enjoy the holidays in health!

Red sauces and wines can stain your teeth. Consider treating yourself to a professional teeth whitening following the holiday festivities.

If you smoke, we encourage you to give yourself the gift of a smoke-free lifestyle for the new year. Smoking impacts your overall health and has also been linked to periodontal disease.

Your Dentist in Gaithersburg Is Here for You

We are here to help you maintain excellent oral health all year long. Contact our dental office today to schedule an exam and teeth cleaning!
