Your dental hygiene is only effective if you are thorough and pay attention to detail. Since a successful day of hygiene does not require that much from you, this should be easy to accomplish. When you skip a brushing session, avoid flossing, or aren’t thorough, you leave behind tartar-causing plaque that is sure to cause cavities and encourage gingivitis.
Dental hygiene is one piece of the puzzle. Add it to a complete approach by seeing our team for six-month checkup and cleaning visits and then you’re definitely on track.
We are often met with many questions about dental hygiene and whether it’s going to change. The good news is that in most cases, this part of your life will remain consistent forever! If you receive a cosmetic treatment, if you receive a restoration, if you’re wearing a dental bridge or implants, etc., the basics typically stay as they are. You’ll brush twice a day (two minutes per brushing session) with a brush that has soft bristles. You’ll floss once daily. See? Simple.
