Dentist in Virginia Beach Provides Patients With Helpful Dental Tips for a Smile That Lasts

    VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, April 04, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In order to maintain healthy smiles, Dr. Chris Hooper, dentist in Virginia Beach, offers his patients extensive dental health care information around the clock. It is commonly understood that in order to avoid cavities and more serious dental problems, a person has to take good care of their teeth and Dr. Hooper of Gentle Dental Center helps reiterate this.

"Consistent brushing and flossing habits do more than just protect your oral health, they also help keep a host of other serious conditions at bay. Because of this I want to ensure that my patients fully understand how to properly maintain their oral health. If we can keep our mouths healthy and free from gum disease, we can further protect our body from other harm," said Dr. Chris Hooper, Virginia Beach dentist.

Unless a problem arises, patients typically don't always think about their oral health, but recognizing its importance might help make it a priority in patients' lives. Dr. Hooper, Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist, continually informs his patients that teeth play a vital role in digestion, and without proper care patients might lose their teeth due to periodontal disease, or other diseases. Teeth are needed to help break down food for nutrition, and the first line of defense begins with daily oral health care.

"Simply going through the motions when brushing your teeth isn't very effective," stated Dr. Hooper, cosmetic dentist in Virginia Beach. "Good oral hygiene involves selecting a proper toothbrush, using good brushing techniques, flossing properly, and seeking advice from my office."

To avoid dental problems and maintain good oral health over time, patients are encouraged to practice good hygiene habits at home. This means learning how to most effectively brush and floss, choosing dental products wisely, maintaining a proper diet, and visiting Dr. Chris Hooper, family dentist in Virginia Beach, for regular checkups and cleanings at Gentle Dental Center.
