Welcome to our blog and thanks for stopping by. Decatur Smiles wants to furnish some uncomplicated tips for oral hygiene.
1.Do… remember you are just cleaning the plaque away before it turns to tartar. A gentle toothbrushing at the proper angle can gently clean the bacteria away. Once plaque has progressed into tartar, no measure of scrubbing at home can responsibly remove it.
Don’t… scour your teeth and gums until your gums pull back and expose parts of your tooth you don’t want unprotected.
2.Do… remember your gums need to be cared for. Proper brushing and regular flossing can keep your gums healthy and strong.
Don’t… delay visiting your dental professional about sore or bleeding gums, tooth pain, or mouth sores.
3.Do… establish a routine for brushing and flossing that leaves sufficient time to spend a full two minutes delicately cleaning all the nooks and crannies of your mouth.
Don’t… forget to have a new floss package ready to use when your current one runs out. Waiting days to get to the store for more can disrupt an essential routine.
4.Do… schedule twice-yearly dental visits for cleaning and examination by a professional. Call Decatur Smiles to set up your initial visit. We’ve got the phones ready! Cancer screenings, cavity checks, and removal of tartar from the teeth are vital for maintaining a healthy mouth.
Don’t… worry if you don’t have the healthiest of mouths. Decatur Smiles can help you get back on track. Whether you’re looking for cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and dentures, or emergency dentistry, we can restore what has been lost or counsel with you on the best options.
5.Do… enjoy your mouth and all the wonders it is capable of.
Don’t… put off coming in to find out about the possibility and cost of cosmetic dentistry, tooth implants, porcelain veneers, braces, and teeth whitening.
