San Clemente Dentist Provides Oral Hygiene Tips

By Griselda Zernan Albao


The modern San Clemente dentist offers a large variety or oral services to patients young and old. You can enjoy the benefits of many advanced procedures, including general dental care. In addition, your dental professional is there with some very helpful and useful tips on oral hygiene.

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.

Before you go to bed at night, brush and floss your teeth. They will stay clean all night long, as you sleep. Form the habit of brushing at night and pass this habit on to your children. If you only brush once a day, this is the best time.

There are many reasons to quit smoking, and not just to lower your chances for lung cancer, lung disease, and heart diseases. Smoking is bad for teeth and gums as it makes one more susceptible to gum disease and infections. It also stains teeth and makes them very hard to keep clean and looking good.

Many people are switching to chewing tobacco or snuff to lessen their chances for lung disease. However, this stuff is bad for your mouth and can make gums pull away from teeth. This exposes teeth roots making them more sensitive to cold and hot and also more sensitive to gum disease.

To enjoy maximum oral health, go to your San Clemente dentist for regular visits, twice annually. This is the best way to catch cavities and gum disease in their early stages. Professional teeth cleaning eliminates plaque buildup that is responsible for most oral problems. Remember to be good to your teeth and they will last for a lifetime.
