You know you should drink more water because it replenishes fluid lost to exercise and activity. You may not realize, though, how important hydration is to a healthy smile. Check out our infographic to learn 4 Reasons Hydration Is Good for Dental Health. 

In addition to drinking plenty of water, you can keep your smile in great shape with daily brushing and flossing. West Valley Dental also offers preventive treatments that are good for dental health:

  • Fluoride Treatments – Fluoride strengthens your enamel so your teeth are more resistant to cavities. It can even reverse minor decay!
  • Dental Sealants – Dr. Hsue will use sealants to create a barrier to stop disease-causing bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves on the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
