Wicks Dental Clinic in Billings, Montana

Hello, dear patients and friends from near and far! I’m Dr. Susan Pan, and I’m thrilled to share some personal insights on how to keep your smile healthy and prevent gum recession. As we all know, maintaining good oral health is essential not just for a beautiful smile but for overall well-being. First and foremost, let’s talk about the importance of regular dental check-ups. Visiting your dentist twice a year is crucial for catching any potential issues early on. For those of you in the area, I invite you to schedule your next appointment with us at Excel Dental. Regular visits allow us to provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Next, let’s focus on your daily oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and using fluoride toothpaste is a must. Don’t forget to floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth. If you’re unsure about your technique, feel free to reach out for guidance. Diet also plays a significant role in oral health. Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports healthy gums. Try to limit sugary snacks and drinks, as they can contribute to tooth decay and gum problems. For those of you who smoke, consider this your friendly nudge to quit. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease
