Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. Most patients are recommended for biannual cleanings and examinations. Sometimes it is prudent to be seen more, or less frequently depending upon your individual situation. Not everyone is the same! However, periodic dental visits allow the doctors to learn about your specific dental needs and help you prevent dental problems before they arise; leaving your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter. A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It also involves a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and polish your teeth and invigorate your gums. Even if you haven’t had a cleaning in over two years, it’s never too late to treat your teeth.
What are some preventative measures I can take?
Brush with a fluoride toothpaste
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss after each meal
Floss daily before bedtime
Rinse after flossing
Limit sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco
