Keeping Your Pristine Smile For Life
Your smile is yours for life and we know you need all the tools and tricks to keep it looking as healthy as possible. At Nick Sheptooha Dental Practice we are geared to help you maintain your natural teeth for life.
As well as recommending a checkup every six months for a thorough examination and clean , a good oral hygiene regime is vitally important in helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Your Checkup
When you visit us, we will conduct a thorough screening for oral cancer, then proceed to check your teeth, gums and occlusion (bite). When necessary, which is every two years, we will take digital x-rays of your teeth and compare your mouth to your previous visit. That way we can detect any advances in decay and gum disease and any other abnormalities at the earliest possible occasion to reduce treatment time and cost.
Our Top Tips For Preventive Care

Good oral hygiene not only makes your teeth and gums feel fresh and vibrant but also provides the basic foundation for lifelong dental health. Our top tips for healthy teeth and gums are:

- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months or after an illness
- Brush twice daily
- Use toothpaste with fluoride
- Floss once daily
- Visit us on a routine basis (every 6 months)
