How to Prepare for Adult Dental Cleaning
There’s not a lot of last-minute things you can do to prepare for your teeth cleaning. We encourage you to trust our care and be open to new techniques to keep your teeth clean. Our hygienists love discussing your current dental habits and they will often offer tips to improve. Daily routines that are incorporated into your lifestyle are what can help make your dental appointment much more comfortable and relaxing. Here are a few ideas to get started improving your oral care routine.
- Brush and floss twice a day
- Regular trips to the dentist for cleanings and exams
- Healthy diet free from excess sugar and soft drinks
- Drink water after drinking pop, coffee, or eating sugar
Many contributing factors go into a healthy smile. A diet rich in nutrients and low in sugar paired with regular brushing and flossing is an excellent way to keep your oral health in check.

Drinking water is great for hydration, but also great for your teeth, too! After drinking coffee, you can prevent coffee stains and yellowing teeth by flushing your mouth with water. The same goes after eating candy, anything high in sugar, or soda pop. Drinking water helps get rid of the sugar left behind on the tooth’s surface.
