Basic oral hygiene

Good dental care requires a joint effort between the patient, hygienist, and dentist. Your team works together to preserve the quality of your oral structures. As the patient, your role is to follow proper oral health habits at home. Positive oral hygiene includes:

Brushing your teeth after meals or at least twice per day
Flossing once per day
Rinsing with mouthwash or using oral irrigator
Replacing your toothbrush every 4-6 months
Visiting your dentist for routine examinations twice per day

The importance of dental cleanings

Routine dental examinations are used to deep clean your teeth and to check for problems. With regular visits to the dentist, if problems do arise between visits, they are caught and addressed early before they have a chance to develop into larger issues.

During your dental cleaning, your hygienist uses special instruments to remove any plaque or tartar that has built up. This cleaning differs from daily brushing at home as the hygienist can get into the hard to reach areas. Your teeth will be brushed and polished for a deep cleaning.

Once the teeth have been polished, your dentist assesses your teeth, gums, and structures of the mouth and jaw. X-rays are used to check the underlying oral structures. Your dentist checks for signs of decay or periodontal disease. Catching and treating problems early increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
