Teeth for Life
Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your smile by visiting the dentist regularly and taking care of your teeth and gums between checkups. Our practice wants to make sure that you get the most out of your office visits — and that your teeth stay healthy for life.
What Happens During a Regular Checkup
- Check for any problems you may not see or feel
- Look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay
- Inspect your teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease
- Provide a thorough teeth cleaning, rinse, and polish
Visiting every six months gives you the chance to talk with Dr. Song and receive answers to any questions about your oral health.
Choosing the Right Products
From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and dental floss, it's important to choose the right products for your smile. Look for the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of acceptance — these products have been carefully examined and approved for safety and effectiveness. Dr. Song can also recommend specific products based on your individual needs.
Did You Know?
At birth, people already have 20 primary (baby) teeth forming beneath the gums. These begin erupting after six months. By age 21, all 32 permanent teeth have erupted. Understanding your tooth anatomy helps you care for your smile at every stage of life.
Let's build a lifetime of healthy smiles together.
