Checkups enable us to catch these problems before they become Regular serious conditions

To keep these dental problems from becoming serious, I recommend twice yearly checkups. Regular cleaning enables me to keep tartar from accumulating on your teeth. During your regular visits, I will also perform a thorough exam to check your gums, measure the bone levels around your teeth, look for cavities, check your restorations, and examine your bite.

Regular exams are the best way to eliminate the growth phase of dental problems, and minimize the time and money you spend in the dental chair.

Brushing technique

Angle the bristles of the brush along the gumline at a 45- degree angle and apply gentle pressure so the bristles slide under the gumline. Vibrate the brush while you move it in short back- and – forth strokes and in small circular motions. Brush two or teeth at a time, and then move to the next teeth, allowing some overlap. To brush the backs of the front teeth, tilt the brush and use the tip of the brush. Don’t forget to brush on the inner side of teeth.

Flossing

Most cavities and periodontal disease begin between the teeth. While brushing is important, the bristles of your toothbrush simply don’t remove plaque and bacteria from between the teeth. That’s why we recommend that you floss every day.

Tongue cleaning

Studies suggest that brushing and flossing should be accompanied by tongue cleaning in order to achieve a truly cleansed oral cavity. Tongue cleaning is Chemical-free. Removes the plaque and other debris from your tongue, instead of just masking it comfortable, easy and takes less time than using a rinse.
