We have amazing patients who keep coming back to see us. And we get to make a difference in people\u2019s lives every day.<br \/>\nWith that in mind, we want you to be grateful too for having a healthy smile. If you don\u2019t, our dental professionals at the offices of George A. Hoop, DDS, can help you get back on track so you can keep your teeth looking their best.<br \/>\nToday, we want to offer a friendly reminder about the benefits of healthy teeth to encourage you to keep doing what you should do to save your smile.<br \/>\nCall (239) 594-8817 to make your next dental appointment if you haven\u2019t scheduled it already.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Your Smile Worth?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to say, isn\u2019t it?<br \/>\nPoor oral care can lead to a number of problems. This can include decayed, stained, and infected teeth. Any of those issues can affect the appearance of your smile \u2026 as well as your confidence in face-to-face situations.<br \/>\nPatients have shared these concerns with us throughout our years of service in South Florida. It\u2019s also the reason millions of people across the country are willing to spend hard-earned money for cosmetic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorative dentistry<\/a> every year.<br \/>\nDr. Hoop is happy to help patients restore their smiles, but we also know its in your best interest to avoid the kinds of problems mentioned above. That\u2019s why we encourage all our patients to make a habit of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brushing your teeth twice daily<\/li>\n<li>Flossing daily<\/li>\n<li>Getting regular dental cleanings and exams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">general dentistry<\/a>, we\u2019ll remove tartar and plaque buildup from your teeth. We also offer additional services, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments to make it more difficult for bacteria to eat into your teeth.<br \/>\nGiving 5 minutes of your time each day to brush and floss and a few hours per year for professional care can help you keep your teeth healthy and strong.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Teeth Affect Your Quality of Life, Too<\/h3>\n<p>While damaged teeth are bad, missing teeth are worse.<br \/>\nWhen you have a gap in your smile or loose-fitting dentures, your life just isn\u2019t the same. When you can\u2019t eat the foods that you want to eat \u2014 or eating those foods starts to feel like a chore \u2014 it affects how much you can enjoy dining with family and friends.<br \/>\nYou shouldn\u2019t spend any time wondering if you can eat something. Instead, you should enjoy the flavors of your food and the company of the people who are dining with you. That\u2019s more likely to happy if you still have a full set of healthy teeth.<\/p>\n<h3>Enjoy Your Smile for Many Years<\/h3>\n<p>With a good daily dental hygiene routine and professional care, you can keep your teeth strong and intact. We are more than ready and willing to help at Dr. Hoop\u2019s offices in Fort Myers and North Naples, FL.<br \/>\nJust call (239) 594-8817 or contact us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/contact.html\">online<\/a> to request an appointment with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a lot to be grateful for.
