Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended biannual cleans and examinations once the teeth and gums are in a stable condition. Not only do they help you prevent dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter. A professional clean removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It also involves a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and soothe your teeth and gums. Even if you haven’t had a clean 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 after each meal
Floss daily before bedtime
Avoid sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco
