Preserving the health of your teeth and gums starts with an effective oral hygiene routine. Brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste helps to remove plaque and lingering food material from the surfaces of your teeth. Remembering to floss between each of your teeth and along the gumline further helps clear away bacterial deposits.
With consistency your daily routine can help reduce your chances of suffering from tooth decay and gum disease. However, it is not the only component for maintaining good oral health.
Having a dentist like Dr. perform a routine dental checkup and cleaning twice each year is also a critical element of maintaining a healthy mouth.
The appointment starts with one of our dental hygienists thoroughly cleaning your teeth to remove hardened tartar and other bacterial deposits from your teeth. It also includes a basic polishing treatment to remove minor dental stains from the surfaces of your teeth.
Our dentist will examine your mouth for any signs of tooth decay and gum disease as well as early signs of oral cancer. If he finds a problem area, our dentist will explain your treatment options.
If he has concerns about the effectiveness of your daily routine, Dr. might provide you with some simple tips and insights to help you maintain clean teeth and healthy gums. Sometimes minor improvements in your brushing and flossing technique can significantly reduce your chances of developing cavities and periodontal health problems.
