Oral Hygiene
Oral hygiene is crucial to maintaining optimal dental and oral health. Proper tooth brushing and flossing techniques, performed daily, is the best way to fight plaque and prevent against cavities and periodontal disease. Dr. Felicia recommends brushing twice a day using soft bristles and for at least two minutes. Change your toothbrush once the bristles flare or after you’ve had an illness.
Choosing Oral Hygiene Products
With all of the products out on the market today, it can become difficult to choose which ones will work best for your dental health needs. Automatic, electronic toothbrushes are safe and effective for most patients. We see the best results with the Oral B and Sonicare brands. Mouth rinses, if used in conjunction with brushing and flossing, can also reduce tooth decay. They’re not for children under the age of 6.
If you have questions regarding brushing, flossing or selecting a toothbrush, contact our office today. Our team will be happy to assist you.

Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that will gradually destroy the support for your natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing will help as dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease. Other factors that worsen the health of your gums include smoking, diabetes, stress, grinding teeth and poor nutrition. Good oral hygiene is such an important aspect of periodontal maintenance because adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases than cavities.
Periodontal disease can easily go undetected, so if you have any signs of red, swollen or bleeding gums, contact our office today. We’ll quickly treat your gums to avoid further damage, including tooth loss.
