Get In Touch With Us
The dental hygienists here at Meadows Family Dentistry have been rigorously trained on the health of the mouth, teeth, and gum tissues. At our office, we put a strong emphasis on patient education, and our hygienists also know how to teach our patients about their oral health and how to improve and maintain it.
The number one thing our hygienists can easily notice is whether or not you’re flossing regularly. Even if you start flossing a few days or even weeks before your appointment is coming up, our hygienists will be able to tell. This is due to the buildup of plaque that may have hardened to the point that your toothbrush can’t get rid of it. Once plaque gets to this point, it’s known as tartar and can only be removed by a professional.
The best way to protect your oral health is to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes at a time, flossing every single day, and visiting Meadows Family Dentistry every six months for a dental cleaning and exam.
To make an appointment for the whole family, please contact Meadows Family Dentistry, located here in Castle Rock, Colorado.
