You brush your teeth, floss daily and visit the dentist at least twice a year. As far as you’re concerned, your oral health is under control. But there’s more to oral health than protecting those pearly whites, and your habits may put you at risk for tooth decay, gingivitis and other more serious diseases.
Now is your chance to learn more, take control and save with MySmileGuide. Create your own personal oral health record, track the oral health of your family and get more from your dental checkup visits with this easy-to-maneuver tool. All of your information is securely stored in one location for your convenience. Our insightful articles and helpful tips will educate and assist you and your family in all aspects of your oral health from brushing to braces, dentures and beyond.
Our age and gender specific questionnaires will help you identify habits and other factors that may put you at risk for oral and general health problems. Consider how diet, nutrition, common medications and lifestyle choices impact your oral health. Take our dental visit checklist with you next time you schedule an appointment. When you enter your dentist’s findings into your personal health record, it will generate additional advice based on your dentist’s examination.
Each questionnaire generates a detailed report with advice and related resources based on your answers and the findings of your dentist. Take an active role in your health when you read up on your current conditions and potential risks.
MySmileGuide helps you track your oral health and the oral health of your family with email reminders based on your level of risk.
