Tooth Brushing In San Diego, CA
Brushing & Flossing Instructions
We can gently remove deposits from the tooth surfaces when you visit us regularly. Bacterial tartar does not have the same opportunity to cause irreversible damage if it is not allowed to sit undisturbed. We also utilize the professional-strength polishing paste to gently buff away discoloration and microscopic plaque, leaving your teeth ultra-smooth and shiny. Because discoloration creeps into your teeth’ enamel over time, this helps to minimize yellowing while preserving a glossy surface for better cleaning.
- Brush each tooth's interior and exterior surfaces, top, and bottom.
- Brush the chewing surfaces with the brush held flat on top of the teeth.
- Brush the tongue gently to remove debris.
- Floss between your teeth daily.
When To Begin Brushing
While dental crises can happen to anyone, our patients who commit to regular preventive care have considerably fewer difficulties in the long run. Professional cleanings with a registered dental hygienist enable us to provide you with a combination of proactive measures. Even with your best efforts, deposits of mineralized plaque, known as tartar, attach to certain places of the teeth. These deposits provide a haven for millions of dangerous microorganisms. They release a flow of toxins into the gums if left untreated. This frequently leads to debilitating chronic conditions, including tooth loss.
Brushing their teeth can be a difficult task for most toddlers. Some ideas for making tooth brushing less of a chore include:
- Allow your youngster to brush your teeth while you do so.
- Allow your youngster to select a few toothbrushes featuring his favorite characters and offer him the option of selecting which one he wants to use each time (this will give him some feeling of control over the situation).
- Allow your youngster to brush his or her teeth first (you will almost certainly have to "help out").
- Read these children's books about tooth brushing to your youngster.
- Brush everyone's teeth at the same time.
Allowing your child to eat or drink anything that may briefly “stain” their teeth and then scrubbing them clean will help them grasp the necessity of cleaning.
It’s also a good idea to develop a “teeth brushing habit.” And follow the same regimen every day.
