The dentist Richmond residents trust, Dr. William W. Way and his entire dentistry team are ready to let you in on the secret. There\u2019s just one catch \u2013 don\u2019t keep it a secret! We\u2019re dedicated to helping every patient fully understand how to achieve the best possible oral health. It all starts right here in our office. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamptondentistry.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> to schedule an appointment with Westhampton Dentistry. Conveniently located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamptondentistry.com\/\">Richmond, VA<\/a>, our team is here to help you smile.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Secret # 1 \u2013 Trust the Professionals<\/h3>\n<p>At Westhampton Dentistry, we encourage all of our patients to receive periodic x-rays, dental examination, teeth cleaning, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamptondentistry.com\/oral-cancer-screening.html\">screening<\/a> for oral health issues. These checkups should occur twice a year, allowing our dental team to catch any potential health concerns at the earliest possible stage. In the past hundred years, dentistry and medicine as a whole have shifted away from treating patients\u2019 problems to treating patients. We\u2019re here for you if a concern arises, but making regular six month checkups part of your routine can save you time, money, and pain in the long run. Plus, we\u2019ll help you keep your smile brilliant.<\/p>\n<h3>Secret # 2 \u2013 Commit to At-Home Care<\/h3>\n<p>Our dentistry team only gets to treat your teeth twice a year, but you see them every day. The at-home dental care routine you develop is essential for the health of your smile. Your oral health routine doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. Keep it simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brush at least 2 times each day and for 2 minutes at a time<\/li>\n<li>Refrain from eating or drinking 30 minutes following brushing<\/li>\n<li>Floss at least once each day and rinse your mouth with water or antimicrobial mouth wash following<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s really that easy to maintain great oral health for the 363 days of the year that our team doesn\u2019t get to see you.<\/p>\n<h3>Secret # 3 \u2013 Play by the Rules<\/h3>\n<p>We all know that smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and carbonated, sugary beverages aren\u2019t great for our physical health, but they also wreak havoc on dental health. We recommend playing by the rules. Don\u2019t smoke, consume alcohol in moderation and drink water following each beverage, and throw out the soda altogether. Your smile will thank you.<\/p>\n<h3>Secret # 4 \u2013 Whiten Right<\/h3>\n<p>Even with the best possible care, teeth become discolored due to aging, genetics, or as a side effect of certain medications. The great news is that, unlike over the counter whitening products, Westhampton Dentistry offers professional-grade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamptondentistry.com\/take-home-whitening-kits.html\">whitening<\/a> you can complete in the comfort of your own home. We custom create application trays that seal the whitening gel to your teeth where it belongs, and fit more comfortably than their one size fits all counterparts. We also provide professional strength whitening gel that outperforms the over the counter brands when it comes to whitening teeth with deep-set stains.<\/p>\n<h3>Call YOUR Dentist Tuckahoe<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Way and the Westhampton Dentistry team are always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our patients. Don\u2019t wait for dental disaster to strike. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamptondentistry.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> Westhampton Dentistry and schedule your periodic checkup today, and keep your smile brighter and healthier for life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know the secret to a brighter, healthier smile?
