Hygiene

Regular preventative maintenance from a certified dental hygienist is essential for your dental health. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional maintenance a minimum of every six months, and more often for patients with periodontal disease. The ADA also has the following recommendations for good overall oral hygiene:

  1. Brush twice daily with an ADA accepted fluoride toothpaste.
  2. Replace your toothbrush every three to four months when the bristles break down and fail to clean away bacteria.
  3. Clean between teeth once a day with floss or an interdental cleaner.
  4. Eat a balanced diet and limit between meal snacks.
  5. MAKE AND KEEP YOUR HYGIENE APPOINTMENT!
