Many people don't yet realize that gum disease (or periodontal disease) is terribly common, yet very preventable. In fact conservative estimates say that up to 80% of people are walking around with some level of chronic gum disease. Our hygiene team can work with you to develop a home care program designed to help you keep your teeth for life.
Tips For Better Oral Hygiene
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and do a thorough job - don't rush!
- Use a fluoride toothpaste with a soft bristled toothbrush.
- Hold your toothbrush at an angle with short back-and-forth motions - don't scrub too hard or you'll irritate your gums!
- Rinse your toothbrush thoroughly and do not store it in a closed container.
- Replace your toothbrush every 3 months.
- Floss each tooth daily.
