Talk To Your Dentist

Dental professionals always have tricks they can use to help their patients feel calm when they come for a cleaning.

Take Care of Your Teeth

Taking care of your teeth at home makes going to the dentist that much easier. When your teeth are healthy and your gums are, too, your dental appointments go faster. Some ways that you can take care of your teeth at home include:

• Brush your teeth twice daily and floss once daily
• Replace your toothbrush every three months
• Use an electric toothbrush if at all possible
• Watch for symptoms of a problem and seek help from the dentist if you notice problems like pain, discomfort, bleeding in the gums or bad breath that won’t go away when you brush your teeth.
