KEY ELEMENTS OF A GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE ROUTINE

The fundamentals of a good dental hygiene routine and maintaining your long-term oral health include daily at-home care and biannual visits to your dentist for a detailed checkup and thorough teeth-cleaning.

If you or your children are due for your dental exam and cleaning, please call Chapnick Dental Office at (647) 504-4407 to schedule your checkup with one of our Barrie, Ontario, dentists.

A good daily dental care routine includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Flossing is recommended at least once daily after brushing to remove food particles and plaque that brushing alone cannot eliminate.

After brushing and flossing, you may wish to rinse with an antibacterial, antiseptic mouthwash. This can help flush lingering food bits, kill additional bacteria and leave you with fresh breath.

Your regular checkups and cleanings are also important. These exams allow your dentist to diagnose and treat potential problems at their earliest stages; they also include professional teeth-cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that accumulate even with regular brushing and flossing.

The family dentistry practice at Chapnick Dental Office is dedicated to providing you and your children with the information you need to establish good dental hygiene habits.
