At Premier Family Dental, we focus on comprehensive, conservative, preventive dental care. Comprehensive means we keep the optimal function of total oral health in mind when determining treatment. Conservative treatment retains as much natural dentition as possible, and preventive dentistry looks to stop oral health concerns before they start. One of the biggest contributors to preventive care happens outside our dental practice. Our team cleans and examines your teeth two days a year, but the remaining 363 days are all up to you. That’s why we offer guidance to maximize the benefits of your at-home care routine. Possibly the most essential aspect of oral hygiene is tooth brushing. The dentist 76712 residents rely on offers answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about toothbrushes. Call our Waco dentist to find out more or to schedule your appointment today.

Flossing, next to brushing, is one of the best forms of preventive dentistry out there. Not only is it easy as pie to do, but it helps keep your mouth protected against harmful bacteria and other diseases. Brushing and flossing are like two peas in a pod – one shouldn’t be completed without the other. The benefits of flossing are numerous. You may not see them immediately or notice them at all, but we can assure you that by flossing you’re sending yourself down a path of excellent oral health.
