Preventive Care
Washington, DC

Preventive dental care is important throughout your life, no matter what your age. By practicing good oral hygiene at home and scheduling regular checkups with your dentist, you can help keep your smile bright and healthy for many years to come.

Here are a few simple ways that you can prevent the build-up of plaque and cavities:

Nutrition

Eat a balanced diet, and try to avoid extra-sugary treats. Nutritious foods such as raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese or fruit can help keep your smile healthy.

Checkups

Remember to schedule regular checkups with your dentist every six months for a professional dental cleaning.

Sealants

Ask your dentist about dental sealants, a protective plastic coating that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay often starts.

Mouthguards

If you play sports, be sure to ask your dentist about special mouthguards designed to protect your smile.
