Dental Care
A yearly dental visit helps keep your smile healthy. During your visit, the dentist can find any cavities early and treat them. Early treatment prevents them from getting worse.
A dental visit should include a professional cleaning. A yearly cleaning at your dentist’s office helps prevent gum disease. Use your next visit as a chance to go over how to floss and brush the right way.
Ask your dentist for advice. If you don’t have a dentist, find one near you at

If it has been over a year since you have seen a dentist, we recommend that you make an appointment to see one as soon as possible. To learn more, check out these resources:
