San Clemente Dentist Provides Oral Hygiene Tips

By Griselda Zernan Albao


Your San Clemente dentist can provide a variety of dental services. In fact, the entire family can benefit. Also, your dental professional offers helpful oral hygiene tips to help you keep your teeth for a long time and enjoy good dental health. Here are some suggestions that you may wish to consider.

Most people understand the importance of regular tooth brushing but they fail to floss. It only takes a few minutes to floss one's teeth and it is not an expensive item. Flossing will remove all kinds of food particles between teeth that your toothbrush cannot reach. This can prevent dangerous plaque from forming.

Although brushing three times a day is good for teeth many people only brush twice. In fact, some only manage one time a day. Whatever you do, make sure to brush and floss right before going to sleep. This is the most effective time for brushing.

Smoking is one of the worst things you can do for oral and overall health. Besides obvious health risks like heart disease and cancer, you also foul the breath and stain the teeth, and tobacco stains are not easy to get rid. Smoking increases the likelihood of gum disease and infection as it is irritates gums and oral tissues.

Chewing tobacco products should be avoided if you want to keep your teeth. Snuff is an irritant to the gums and mouth tissues and increases the risk for oral cancer and gum disease. It also can make gums recede, leaving teeth open to temperature sensitivities and infection.

If you wish to maintain good oral health see your San Clemente dentist twice a year, so your teeth can receive regular examinations and routine cleanings. This helps get rid of plaque deposits that are responsible for tooth decay and gum disease. Make sure to practice regular brushing and eliminate tobacco for optimum oral health.
