Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your smile by visiting the dental team regularly and taking care of your teeth and gums between checkups. The team at Dental Care Associates want to make sure that you get the most out of your office visits, and that your teeth stay healthy for life.  With a straightforward approach to preventive dental care, we provide exemplary care with every exam. While brushing and flossing certainly have their place in routine oral health and gum disease prevention, professional cleanings are imperative to make sure that bacterias are eliminated from areas your toothbrush just can’t reach.
