Brushing your teeth is an important part of your oral hygiene routine. For a healthy mouth and smile the ADA recommends:
Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.
Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
Make sure to use an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste.
The ADA recommends to visit your dentist for a professional hygiene cleaning at least twice a year. To maintain oral health, it's very important that you stay up to speed on the condition of your teeth, and gums, so that if problems are detected, they can be treated early to avoid developing more serious issues. We provide comfortable, gentle hygiene cleanings, specifically to detect, deter and prevent gum disease. If we find a cause for concern, we may recommend a deep gum cleaning to remove tartar below the gum line, smooth out surfaces where plaque builds up and eliminate bacterial infection.
