Better Home Care

Better home care refers to better brushing and more effective flossing.  I consistently see individuals who are collecting plaque and calculus behind their lower front teeth.  The importance of brushing well is important for long-term tooth and gum health.  Keeping debris off your teeth will help keep cavities from forming.  Keeping debris away from your gums will keep inflammation and subsequent gum recession from occurring.  It's important to use a good toothbrush and floss.  I typically recommend a soft bristle brush and good sturdy floss.  Some people have a hard time getting things cleaned adequately, possibly due to extra space between teeth or decreased dexterity.  For those people I commonly recommend electric brushes or electric flossers.  In my up-coming posts I will be talking more about electric brushes and flossers available on the market.  If you have more questions about improving your oral care, please call our office or visit our website by clicking on the hyperlink below.
