At Smile Spark International, we strongly believe that the best way for you and your family to maintain your oral health is to be proactive about the care of your mouth. The mainstay of preventive dentistry is a cleaning and polishing every six months. We focus on educating patients on proper tooth brushing technique, proper flossing technique, the importance of fluoride therapy, the effects of adverse oral habits like smoking and chewing tobacco and the need for regular dental checkups. We also stress the continuing care of your oral health after the completion of treatment, because your home care is the single most important factor that determines the success of your dental treatment.

Your mother was absolutely right, prevention is better than cure.
