Dental issues can be severely inconvenient and painful, which is why it’s best to avoid them altogether. But how? Well, to help you, our Twins Family Dentistry team encourages you to do the following things on a regular basis:
-Keep up on oral hygiene: Make sure you clean your smile each and every day by brushing twice and flossing and rinsing once. You can brush every morning and every night and immediately floss and rinse after one of your brushing techniques. When you clean your teeth, it’s best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, floss that is easy to use, and antibacterial or fluoride mouthwash. Doing these things will help you prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
-Wear a mouthguard: To prevent tooth injuries, like cracking or chipping a tooth or knocking a tooth out of place, you should wear a mouthguard when you participate in contact sports. Mouthguards are beneficial appliances that can protect your teeth when elbows, knees, sports balls, and other hard objects hit them.
-Visit your dentist: It’s very important that you visit Dr. Pantea Nooraee every six months for a professional dental cleaning and exam. This appointment will help you in many ways, especially because the treatment involved is the only treatment that will completely eliminate plaque and tartar from your smile, reducing your chances of having gum disease. It’s also a great opportunity to take advantage of a professional fluoride treatment. The fluoride will seep into your tooth enamel and make your teeth strong enough to fight tooth decay and other dental issues.
