At Midwest Smiles we value our patients. We want to partner
with you to achieve your best smile and maintain great oral health and
educational awareness.
Preventive Maintenance
Teeth are meant to last a lifetime. By taking good care of your teeth and gums,
you can retain them for many years. Statistics estimated that "60% of all
Americans have at least one tooth missing."
Brushing and flossing two to three times daily is essential to maximize
oral health and prevent tooth decay. Cleaning your teeth and gums will
help preserve your natural teeth. Gently brush your teeth with a soft-bristle
brush and fluoride toothpaste.
During routine visits, a review of your medical history enables us to stay
informed of your overall health, changes in your medications, and any illnesses
that may impact your dental health.
