Preventive Care

Dr. Meuselbach and our team believe that prevention is the best medicine, especially when it comes to your dental health. To ensure success in your life-long journey of oral care, we take the time to provide customized education regarding your oral health, formulating ideal home recommendations to keep you smiling.

Cleanings and check-ups at our West Chester dental office are important, not only to treat oral health issues (cavities and gum disease which we are all aware of), but to also find developmental issues or potential oral cancer.

Tips for Achieving Ideal Oral Health

• Eat a well-balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and proteins. High-fiber foods are ideal, as they are generally not “sticky” and bacteria colonizing, and don't contribute negatively to our health.
• Avoid soda and processed foods. These types of food lead cavities, as well as systemic health issues (obesity, high blood pressure, cancers, diabetes, etc.).
• Avoid sticky treats (like Skittles or Jolly Ranchers) that stick to teeth and feed bacteria.
• Use an electric toothbrush, such as a Sonicare or Oral B Genius, along with proper flossing and/or Waterpik usage. No matter what toothbrush you choose, use it often and correctly!

If you have questions about the best ways to prevent oral disease, or simply need to schedule your six-month cleaning, please feel free to contact our West Chester, OH dentist, Dr. Robert Meuselbach.
