Are you ready to finally have a bright, healthy smile that makes you feel proud and happy?

Then be sure to visit Dr. Hsue at West Valley Dental after the holidays to talk about your oral health goals and how we can help you achieve them!

How To Create A Better Smile Next Year

We have four ideas to make your smile in 2021 better than ever:

Make Sure You Brush Your Teeth Properly

Brushing your teeth each day isn’t quite enough.

You need to do it twice and for at least two minutes each time.

If you need help sticking to this practice, you can invest in an electric toothbrush that has a built-in timer and will change speed to let you know when it’s time to move to another part of your mouth.

You can also set a timer on your phone, or sing a song in your head that’s about two minutes so you know you’re brushing long enough.

Add Flossing To Your Daily Routine

One of the best New Year’s resolutions you can make for your oral health is to floss every single day. Most adults admit they don’t do this on a daily basis, yet it’s one of the most important steps in your oral hygiene regimen.

Getting food particles out from those nooks and crannies in your mouth will starve the harmful bacteria of the fuel it needs to cause decay, cavities, and gum disease.

So if you don’t floss consistently now, make a promise to yourself that you will start in 2021!

Prevent Dental Problems Before They Start

Taking great care of your teeth and gums at home is only part of maintaining a healthy smile.

You also need to visit us regularly for dental cleanings and exams so we can stay on top of any dental problems that arise. Treating tooth decay and gum disease in the earliest stages will make it much easier to control dental problems before they turn into something serious.

It will also allow you to take advantage of our preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride varnishes that block out bacteria and rebuild damaged tooth enamel.

Repair Or Complete Your Smile

Before you can prevent dental problems moving forward, you have to restore your smile if there are any existing issues with your teeth and gums.

You might have damaged teeth, loose teeth, or even missing teeth.

With our wide-ranging restorative dentistry services, you can fix your smile and make it as good as new. We offer tooth-colored solutions, as well as innovative dental implants, so you have a full set of strong, healthy teeth and a smile that looks natural and bright.

There are endless possibilities for your smile in the coming year.
