home care

Proper home care leads to better overall health and, ultimately, fewer trips to the dentist. 

This is the single most important area for you, as a patient, when considering how you can help your own oral health and health in general.

  • Brush at least twice a day with a soft toothbrush and plain toothpaste containing fluoride
  • Floss daily - Special flossing tools may be necessary to aid the flossing process.
  • Rinse with a mouth rinse if you so desire.           

Some people require more home care depending on their teeth, gums, bone, genetics, and diet.

For those who have a difficult time with a manual toothbrush, we recommend an electric toothbrush (Sonicare).

If you have other problems or a history of difficulty preventing cavities, bone loss, gum disease, or other oral condition then we will custom design a prevention program for you.
