helps to remove plaque between the teeth and gumline where your
toothbrush can’t reach easily. When left alone, plaque can become harder
and turn into tartar under the gumline surface. Therefore, if you floss
daily, it will help you prevent tooth decay and gingivitis. There’s
also another way out if you don’t like flossing: an oral irrigator. This
sprays water to remove plaque between your teeth and gumline. You can
also use mouthwash instead of water for more effective cleaning.
for routine cleaning every six months to maintain good oral health and a
beautiful smile. These routine cleaning procedures will help you
completely get rid of tartar which can cause periodontal disease. The
accumulation of tartar can also develop unsightly and swollen bleeding
gums. In addition, to remove tartar and stains from your teeth, our
dental hygienist can also diagnose other health conditions such as the
risk of oral cancer, which can be brought on as a result of poor dental
care and hygiene.
Electric
toothbrushes have an edge over regular ones when it comes to thorough
cleaning. There’s plenty of variety to choose from. Many feature modes
for whitening teeth or accommodating sensitive teeth. Oscillators are
also an effective remedy for tooth cleaning as they feature
bi-directional rotating heads. They are also cost-effective as the
structure is made from material that can last for years. All you have to
do is replace heads at regular intervals.
White teeth
are a sign of a healthy smile but you should also know what teeth
whitening product is most suitable for you. There is a large variety of
products to choose from including toothpastes, gel pens, mouth rinses,
custom trays and laser whitening. Visit Flower Dentistry and let Dr.
Darren L. Flowers pick a product that’s best suited to your needs.

choices are overwhelming, each product has specific purposes that are

whitening can provide very positive results along with strengthening
teeth.
Preventive
measures are also important when it comes to caring for your teeth.
Smoking is a major cause of stained teeth and if you want a bright and
vivid smile, you should quit smoking. At times, these superficial stains
can be polished off by a professional dentist but they can also
penetrate deep into the enamel. Smoking can damage even the healthiest
gums causing them to recede which lead to developing large pockets
around the teeth. You’re inviting more diseases and infections down the
line.
Tea, coffee
and red wine are common tooth strainers just like smoking. These can
also cause permanent staining of your tooth enamel, therefore it is
better to limit regular consumption. Additionally, brush at least twice a
day, once before bedtime, and once right after waking up. In some
cases, it is advisable to brush after each meal.
