Oral health is supremely important. There’s no denying that. Keeping said oral health in mint condition is almost impossible, but it can be done. Not only can it be done, it should be done.

If you’re ready to take your oral health to the next level, we’re here to help. Dr. Ted Dunson III is the Denton dentist you can trust. Whether it’s cavity, jaw or gum disease treatment, Denton has a place they can call home for dental procedures.
Are You Doing Your Part? Our Family Dentist in Denton Wants to Know
How do you know if you’re practicing good dental hygiene?
Quiz time!
1.) How many minutes should you spend brushing your teeth?

Try to answer those questions WITHOUT looking at the correct answers below.
1.) At least two
2.) Twice everyday
3.) Twice a year (every six months)
Are you doing this correctly? Have you been spending two minutes brushing your teeth or have you lagged in time? Taking care of your teeth involves a lot more than just coming in for a dental cleaning or exam. It’s what you do at home that helps you maintain a healthy mouth.

These aren’t all of them, but are the most common of the bunch. They are the last thing anyone wants to deal with and they can be avoided by simply taking grater care of your mouth. It’s that simple. Visiting us twice a year won’t hurt, either.
