temecula new yearsWhen you make your New Year’s resolutions, don’t forget about your teeth and gums! With the right changes in 2026, you can keep your smile bright and healthy. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about New Year’s resolutions for your smile!

Caring for Your Smile at Home

First, make sure you are taking the right steps to protect your smile from home. Each day, you should start your morning by brushing your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush. We also recommend a fluoride toothpaste, as this helps keep outer enamel strong and reduces the risk of cavities. You should brush for two minutes to remove trapped food particles. Be sure you do this again in the evening before going to bed.

You also need to floss, as this removes what a toothbrush alone cannot. Be sure you floss every evening before you brush that second time to extract these trapped food particles. What you eat and drink is a factor in your oral health too! In the coming new year, be sure you cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet to keep your smile safe.

Time for Your First Checkup and Cleaning

If you haven’t already, consider scheduling your first checkup visit of 2026. Our team can see you and examine your smile to see if you have issues that need attention, such as a cavity or gum disease. We can then address or manage them so you start 2026 on the path to a healthier smile. In addition, we will also take time to clean your teeth in the same visit, a process that removes all harmful plaque and tartar to protect your oral health and keep your smile safe.

Addressing Major Concerns

Our team can treat your cavity in a single appointment with a filling, and can also repair teeth with a custom crown. We have lifelike dental prosthetics, including dental implants, and cosmetic treatments to help your smile stay bright and beautiful! We also offer care for all ages, from kids to seniors, so everyone in your family can enjoy a stunning and healthy smile in 2026 and beyond! If you have any questions, then contact our team today to learn more.
