You should floss at least once each day and brush at least twice a day. Ideally, you will brush your teeth after each meal and before going to sleep at night. We recommend that you use an ADA®-approved soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste. Give us a call if you have any questions!
Many people only visit the dentist when they have a noticeable problem. While they may think that they are saving time, the reality is that the treatments to repair and restore damaged teeth cost more money and time than visiting the dentist regularly for preventive care. Routine dental visits allow our [dr_type] to monitor your oral health and ensure that any developing problems are diagnosed and treated in the early stage of development, if not prevented entirely. We recommend that you visit our dentists for a dental cleaning and exam twice each year.
Brushing your teeth only cleans the surfaces of your teeth — it does not reach the areas between the teeth or below the gumline. Flossing does reach those areas and helps ensure that plaque and bacteria are removed from your mouth before they can cause damage to your teeth.
