At every dental cleaning, our hygienists discuss proper oral hygiene. We evaluate nutrition, brushing, flossing, and habits that may be either beneficial or detrimental to your teeth and gums. We work with you to make positive choices in these areas wherever possible.

At Des Moines River Dental, we recognize that your daily care routine is just as important as your regular dental visits. We want to help you establish strategies that work right for you, making them easier to perform day in and day out.
