GENERAL ORAL HYGIENE

Oral hygiene keeps your mouth and teeth clean. An important health component, teeth cleaning prevents dental problems. To clean your teeth and mouth properly, your oral hygiene routine should include:

• Brushing your teeth and tongue at least twice a day.
• Flossing your teeth once a day.
• Visiting the dentist for a cleaning every six months.

Professional dental cleanings remove built-up plaque and tartar that cannot be removed with a toothbrush or dental floss. Our hygienists can show you the proper way to brush in order to remove plaque while preventing damage to the gums and enamel, including using a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently brushing at a 45 degree angle toward your gums.

Good oral hygiene prevents common dental problems, including:

• Cavities
• Bad breath
• Gum disease

Oral hygiene prevents these dental problems by reducing the food debris, bacteria and plaque on your teeth.

At Chapnick Dental Office, our dentists and dental team can suggest other ways to improve your oral health, including foods to avoid and which foods contribute to a healthy mouth.
