What You Should Do Between Visits?

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO BETWEEN VISITS?

Be sure to take care of your teeth and gums between regular dental visits. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but you can get rid of it by brushing and flossing regularly. Here are some tips for good oral care at home.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Be sure to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride.

Floss at least once a day.

Use a mouth rinse to help get rid of plaque bacteria. This will also help to freshen breath.

Regular dental visits are important because they help to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

There are two parts to a regular dental visit:

• The check-up
• The cleaning

During the check-up, your dental professional will check your overall oral health for any trouble areas.

During the cleaning, your dental professional will remove any plaque and tartar buildup and may polish your teeth.

You should have a regular dental visit at least twice a year.
