Total Care Dental truly cares about your complete oral health. Maintaining good oral hygiene starts with knowing how to clean your teeth and gums. Our specialists are trained to address any oral issue you may encounter as well as educate you regarding proper techniques you can use at home to help maintain a healthy smile.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth, gums, and overall health. Between regular visits (bi-annual, 6-month checkups) to our dental clinic for teeth cleanings and other dental health care services, you should maintain good homecare habits. Follow the simple steps below to decrease the risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental health issues.
Many patients assume they know everything about brushing their teeth, but there's always room for improvement. Follow these steps for a cleaner, healthier smile:
Should you brush or floss first? Evidence suggests that as long as you do a thorough job, it doesn't matter. However, flossing before brushing may allow more fluoride to reach between your teeth.
Healthy oral hygiene habits are important for your overall health. Regular dental cleanings and check-ups help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and the development of serious health complications. Oral bacteria can contribute to endocarditis and cardiovascular disease. A healthy mouth can improve your quality of life by allowing you to eat properly, sleep better and improve your confidence.
Taking care of your teeth at home is one of the best ways to prevent dental health issues. Improve your oral hygiene with these additional 4 steps:
There are many areas of the mouth that are difficult to clean on your own. During your preventative dentistry appointment, our dental hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth. This makes it easier for your dentist to examine each tooth and report anything unusual.
Plaque is a sticky layer of bacterial buildup which accumulates on your teeth over the course of a day. If you don't remove it daily, it will build up and harden over time. Certain foods cause more plaque than others. Sugary foods and starches are the main culprits for releasing plaque-causing acids in your mouth.
Plaque also produces substances that irritate the gums, causing redness and bleeding. If left untreated, the bones around the teeth can decay, and your teeth may fall out. Daily brushing and flossing greatly help to remove plaque buildup, which is why brushing twice per day is strongly recommended.
