Your dentist in Kalispell works wonders on your smile and oral health. However, it is also very helpful to work alongside the team from Northwest Center for Dentistry.
While getting your teeth cleaned professionally is important in maintaining a healthy mouth, proper homecare is even more crucial.
By practicing good oral hygiene habits, brushing twice and flossing once a day along with regular dental check ups and a good diet, you are being proactive when it comes to oral health.
- Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste that includes fluoride.
- Floss at least once every day. The most important time to floss is just before you go to sleep at night.
- Eat a balanced diet. Limiting your intake of very sugary and acidic foods can help to prevent tooth decay.
- Maintain your regular visits to the dentist every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to make certain we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.
During your dental visit, the team from your Kalispell dental office will have a chat about your oral hygiene habits. On occasion, tips are suggested to help you improve your home dental care.
Brushing up on your skills is important and can also help the rest of your family when it comes to oral hygiene.

Carifree products to fight cavities:
Do you have soft teeth? Did you inherit bad teeth from your parents? Did your baby leech all of the calcium out of your teeth? These are common misconceptions that people are often told are the cause of their high cavity risk. The actual culprit behind a high cavity risk however is an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Cavities are contagious! Just like any other bacteria related disease, cavities are spread from person to person. Most people are exposed to these bacteria at a very young age by a family member, which is why people believe that they “inherited” their bad teeth from a parent.
Based on this knowledge, it makes perfect sense to try and eliminate the bad bacteria to reduce your cavity risk for good!
