THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS TWO CLEANINGS/EXAM A YEAR
Visiting the dentist every six months allows us to provide you with preventive care and diagnose any developing problems as soon as possible. Regular dental visits help keep your smile healthy and will save you money and time in the long run.
Flossing reaches the areas between your teeth and helps remove plaque and food particles that brushing alone does not. You should floss at least once each day.
The best way to prevent cavities is to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes brushing for at least two minutes twice a day and flossing daily. We also recommend that you limit the sugary and acidic foods and drinks you consume.
Oral hygiene plays an important role in maintaining your oral health. Brushing and flossing daily, along with professional cleanings and exams, is the best way to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss and other problems from developing.
When brushing your teeth, we recommend that you:
If you have any questions about brushing your teeth or experience any pain or discomfort while brushing, please contact our office.
Flossing reaches the areas of your teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach and is highly effective in removing plaque from those areas. When flossing, we recommend that you:
Your teeth may be sensitive to hot and cold after dental treatment. This sensitivity should not last long if your mouth is kept clean. If you do not keep your mouth clean, the sensitivity will remain and could become more severe. Please speak with our dentists if your sensitivity does not subside or becomes more severe. We may recommend a medicated toothpaste or mouthrinse if needed.
There are many oral hygiene aids available. Our dentists will discuss the different options available with you to help you find the right product for your needs. Common dental care products include:
Daily brushing and flossing will help keep plaque to a minimum and increase your chances of keeping your teeth for a lifetime. However, you do need to meet with a dental regularly to have calculus removed. We recommend that you visit Children & Family Dentistry & Braces every six months as part of your ongoing treatment plan to receive a professional dental cleaning.
We believe that everyone deserves to receive quality dental care tailored to their individual needs. Give us a call today to schedule your appointment and receive personalized, comprehensive care!
