Dental Hygiene

Excellent dental hygiene is the key to a healthy, beautiful smile. Dr. Robert Walinchus and our team are happy to provide personalized advice and techniques to help our patients improve their dental hygiene in Springfield, Pennsylvania. When you visit Robert E. Walinchus, DMD for a dental checkup or treatment procedure, our dentist will ensure that you have the information you need to care for your smile.

During your time at our office, our team works hard to improve your oral health. It is essential, however, that you continue taking care of your smile at home through consistent oral hygiene. Good dental hygiene includes a number of daily habits and practices that help to keep your smile healthy and bright. Our doctor recommends that you follow these basic steps to help your smile stay in optimal health:

• Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste that includes fluoride.
• Floss at least once every day. The most important time to floss is just before you go to sleep at night.
• Eat a balanced diet. Limiting your intake of very sugary and acidic foods can help to prevent tooth decay.
• Maintain your regular visits to the doctor every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to make certain we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.

Root canal therapy can relieve these painful symptoms and return your smile to good health. To learn more about rotary endodontics and root canal therapy, we invite you to call or visit our office soon. We look forward to improving your oral health!
