• Dental Tips

  You should brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day.

  
  

  Choose an ADA-accepted toothbrush that has polished bristles because they are less likely to injure gum tissue. Use a soft bristled toothbrush with a size and shape that allows you to reach all tooth surfaces.

  
  

  Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become worn or frayed.

  
  

  Oral irrigators are used as an aid for people with braces or fixed partial dentures, they should not replace regular brushing or flossing.

  
  

  If you experience pain or sore muscles in the jaw joint area (in front of your ears) or even headaches, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep. Speak to us about being fitted for a night guard, which will protect your teeth and the joint area.

  
  

  Use a mouthwash that contains fluoride. Fluoride mouth rinses strengthen the teeth and can help prevent decay at all ages.

  
  

  Consume plenty of calcium-rich foods, such as low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese. Calcium is essential for strong teeth and bones.
