Patients who create goals for their oral health often find it easy to follow a simple, structured plan of action to enhance their smile. Each goal achieved brings more confidence and better overall health, as well.A common set of oral health goals includes daily actions – brushing twice daily and flossing – and longer term actions – recommended cleanings and other dental treatment. Research shows that goal-setting can help influence a person’s commitment to self-improvement, and this holds true for oral health, as well. By promising to maintain oral care, patients can track progress and take pride in success along the way.
