Why Preventative Dentistry Is Important
Challenger Family Dental is committed to helping our patients prevent oral health issues. We focus on the teeth and gums, but we provide comprehensive oral health services. Additionally, we offer patient education resources to help individuals understand the best ways to take care of their mouths at home. We recommend being proactive about your oral health by brushing your teeth at least twice per day and flossing at least once. We also suggest using mouthwash to clean hard-to-reach areas and avoiding sugary or acidic foods and drinks. These practices, along with preventative dentistry at our Clayton, NC clinic, will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums, achieve good overall health, and avoid the need for expensive restorative dentistry services.
