The golden rule for oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, maintain a healthy diet and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups!
We recommend you brush twice a day, for two minutes using a soft-bristled brush. Angle your brush at 45 degrees toward your gums to sweep away plaque using circular motions. An electric toothbrush is always a great option and easy to use for all ages!
Flossing daily will target food particles that are trapped between the teeth before they turn to plaque. A WaterPik flosser is very effective at cleaning between the teeth!
We also recommend that you avoid tobacco and limit sugars.
If you have any concerns about the health of your gums you can call to book and we will discuss your concerns and provide options, especially if you have other underlying health conditions that may affect your gums.
Your dental team at Port Perry Dental Associates is always happy to help guide you!
