New Year, New Start Protecting Your Smile: The Advantages of Preventive Dentistry

x  New Year, New Start Protecting Your Smile: The Advantages of Preventive Dentistry

The new year is often a time for a new start, and many resolutions revolve around self-improvement. At Lee Dental in Frisco, Texas, Dr. Clyde Lee and Dr. Julie Lee want you to consider renewing your commitment to an effective preventive dentistry program. 

By staying ahead of your dental issues, you’ll protect your overall health for years to come. And your commitment now gives you the benefit of living life with a healthy smile going forward. 

Let’s look at the smile protection advantages you’ll enjoy by upping your oral care game, including regular six-month visits to Lee Dental. 

Preventive dentistry starts with you

Brushing, flossing, and keeping your twice-yearly dental checkups are key steps in maintaining your oral health, but effective prevention involves more. To optimize your oral health, we want you to partner with us. Daily habits like brushing twice and flossing once are essential to prevent cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup. These tasks are the foundation, but regular dental visits help ensure you're on track for long-term oral health.

You are what you eat

You might not consider a meal of lean protein and fresh vegetables to be a factor in dental health, but like all systems in your body, the secret to keeping teeth and gums healthy is providing nutrition through the foods you eat. 

Make (and keep!) regular dental appointments

Yes, it’s a busy world, and there are times when compromises are necessary. It’s tempting, after a string of routine dental checkups, to let one slide. Perhaps you’ve already done this without apparent ill effects. 

However, plaque buildup is a 24/7 enemy. It takes both your daily care as well as the six-month dental cleanings to stay ahead of a growing plaque issue, which leads toward gum disease and accelerated decay. 

The advantages of preventive dentistry

When you add up these aspects of oral care, you might wonder if the effort is worth it, particularly if you consistently have those uneventful checkup appointments. In fact, those checkups are proof that the system works. 

Consider these advantages you’re already receiving:
