Life in Los Angeles moves fast. Between work, family, and catching some sun at the beach, it's easy to let oral health slide to the bottom of your to-do list. But here's the thing: your smile deserves VIP treatment. At Chan Dental, keeping your teeth and gums healthy doesn't have to feel like a chore. With a few simple tweaks to your routine, you can make oral health a priority without missing a beat.
1. Find a Dentist You Actually Like (Hint: That's Us!)
If you don't love your dentist, chances are you're not booking regular checkups. But the good news is that we make dental visits easy, comfortable, and, dare we say, even enjoyable. Plus, with LA traffic being what it is, why drive all the way to Downtown when you have a first-class dental team right here?
2. Make Brushing and Flossing Part of Your Daily Ritual
Brushing twice a day? Easy. Flossing daily? Maybe not as easy, but absolutely doable! Try keeping floss in your car or at your desk for a midday refresh. Your gums (and your dentist) will thank you.
3. Swap Sugary Drinks for Water
LA is the land of iced coffees and trendy juice bars. But all that sugar and acidity is not great for your teeth. Try switching out a couple of your usual drinks for water instead. It helps wash away food particles and keeps your mouth hydrated. It's a win-win!
4. Protect Your Smile (Especially If You're Active!)
Whether you're hiking in Palos Verdes, surfing in Manhattan Beach, or playing sports at a local park, don't forget to protect your teeth! A custom mouthguard can save you from a painful (and expensive) dental emergency.
5. Don't Ignore Small Issues
Feeling a little tooth sensitivity or noticing some bleeding gums? Please don't wait! If left unchecked, small problems can turn into big (and costly) ones—a quick visit to Torrance, our dental office, can put your smile in perfect selfie shape.
