Habits that keep treatment simple
Most dental problems are preventable. These basics do more than any product claim.
- Brush twice daily for two minutes with a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste
- Clean between teeth daily with floss, picks, or a water flosser
- Limit sipping sugary or acidic drinks throughout the day
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind
- Keep preventive visits even when nothing hurts
Questions about your own plan are best answered by your dentist. You can also read about Dr. Zadov's professional background or get to know Simon Leizgold, who led the practice's business operations.
