Taking care of your teeth at home is key to oral health and will help you limit the times you visit the dentist's office. First thing to consider is what products you are using. Every product you bring home for oral hygiene must contain the "ADA" seal. This seal represents the American Dental Association. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and anything related to dental care can be trusted if this seal is on the packaging.
The top 3 basic dental principles to remember:
The big part that at-home preventive dental care helps with is targeting the buildup of plaque in and around your teeth and gums. This also ends up fighting bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. No matter what kind of toothbrush you use, it's important to make sure this gets done every day. You can use regular toothbrushes, or even power brushes. The important thing is to make sure you take care of this daily. There's many options when it comes to other dental at home tools like wax and unwaxed floss. If you need help deciding what tools you need contact our office of Dr. Dalesandro.
Maintaining oral health on a daily basis is the most important part of preventive health. By taking care of your teeth and gums, you can prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and more. But it's important to have advice on oral health tailored to your needs. That's where speaking to a dental hygienist comes in. Expert advice from dental hygienists gives you the tips you need to take better care of your teeth. Advice on oral hygiene and overall health management ensures you use the right products and have a good routine to look after your teeth. Hygienists also provide dental cleanings to help you maintain healthy teeth.
