Frequently Asked Questions
What are your tips for better oral hygiene at home?
Generally, a good at-home oral hygiene routine consists of brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing with suitable mouthwash. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush because hard bristles can cause damage to your teeth.
If you’d like personal recommendations on the kinds of products that would be best for you, your dentist can help you. At your appointment, simply ask for tips on your at-home oral hygiene. We can recommend the best practices for your unique situation.
