Home Care Education

Every team member at Keystone Dentistry believes in being a true partner with you in your oral health. Because good oral health is associated with overall physical health, each member is committed to educating you about the maintenance and care of your mouth. So in addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of your teeth, we also take the time to help our patients develop proper oral hygiene habits at home.

Your hygienist evaluate your hygiene techniques and make adjustments to your routine where needed. We will also discuss the warning signs of gum disease, like swollen or bleeding gums. If we feel that you are already suffering from gingivitis or more severe gum disease, we may recommend certain home care products and a stricter home regimen along with gum therapy. These measures can be instrumental in preventing bone loss and helping you to keep your natural teeth.

And if you have any special concerns or medical conditions, such as diabetes, we can show you how to safely and effectively care for your teeth. Every person is different, and so each dental care plan must be customized for each patient.
