Oral hygiene is a key part of your health at every age. At-home care helps prevent many dental problems, and our dentists and team focus on prevention and education to empower you to maintain optimal oral health throughout your life.

The Basics of Oral Hygiene

Oral hygiene is an essential part of dental health, encompassing practices like regular brushing and flossing. In Rochester, Mankato, Blooming Prairie, New Richland and Owatonna, MN, we provide comprehensive oral hygiene services tailored to patients aged 3 to 95. Our team guides patients through proper brushing techniques, flossing methods and the use of mouthwash to remove plaque and prevent tooth decay.

Our procedures include professional teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments and dental sealants. These services aim to remove hardened plaque, protect tooth enamel and prevent cavities, respectively. Our team uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure a thorough and comfortable cleaning experience.

The benefits of maintaining good oral hygiene are extensive. Regular oral care can prevent gum disease, tooth loss and bad breath. It also contributes to overall health by reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are linked to poor oral health.

In a study by the American Dental Association®, people who adhered to recommended oral hygiene practices had a 60% lower incidence of cavities. We aim to help our patients in Minnesota achieve similar results, promoting optimal dental health across all ages.
