Have you made your New Year’s resolutions for 2026? If not, then you should make some that could improve your smile. With a few simple changes to your daily routine and regular visits to our office in 2026, your Omaha, NE, dentist can help you enjoy a healthier and more beautiful smile in the new year and beyond!
Improving How You Care for Smiles at Home
Good oral hygiene habits at home are essential for protecting your smile. This can help limit plaque and tartar buildup in between your routine checkup and cleaning visits, so you safeguard your smile against issues like tooth decay and even gum disease! You should brush and floss daily. When it comes to brushing, you should do this in the morning and at night for two minutes, using a fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush with soft bristles.
Flossing is also critical for your oral health, and you should floss every evening before you brush that second time. This removes what a toothbrush cannot reach, and is especially important for preventing gingivitis and gum disease, or managing the issues to prevent them from growing severe and threatening your smile’s stability. Cutting back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and avoiding tobacco products can also be helpful too.
Starting With Your Dental Exam
You can schedule your last checkup of 2025 or your first one for 2026, that way you start your new year with a healthier smile. An exam means we can take a close look at your teeth, gums, and roots with digital imaging technology, making a diagnosis and providing care for any issues we discover. We also clean your teeth in the same sitting, a procedure that enables us to remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth, and lowers the risk of issues like tooth decay and gum disease, as well as bad breath and stained teeth.
Treating Your Major Oral Health Concerns
Our team is also ready to help you improve your overall oral health by addressing serious concerns. For example, when a cavity or infection forms, we can help with a filling or a crown, and we can even take on missing teeth with a custom bridge, denture, or a dental implant. Our team can use cosmetic treatment to help remove teeth stains and address misshapen teeth to fill in gaps between them. We also have custom oral appliances to ease the impact of TMJ disorder and bruxism too.
If you have any questions about protecting your smile in 2026, then reach out to our team to start the process now! We want to help you obtain your best smile.
