Tooth Care Tips at Glenashton Dental Centre Back

At Glenashton Dental Centre, we believe that maintaining healthy teeth and gums starts at home with proper oral care combined with regular dental visits. Our team is dedicated to helping you and your family achieve optimal oral health through education and professional care.

Brushing

Proper brushing is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. We recommend:

  • Brushing twice daily (morning and night) for two minutes each time
  • Brushing after meals whenever possible
  • Using a soft-bristled toothbrush in a gentle circular motion aimed at the gumline

Flossing

Flossing is critical because it reaches areas a toothbrush cannot, helping to:

  • Remove plaque buildup
  • Prevent gum disease
  • Reduce tartar formation (which can only be removed during professional cleanings)

Additional Recommendations for Healthy Teeth

To complement brushing and flossing, we recommend:

  • Avoiding smoking
  • Limiting sticky, sugar-rich foods and beverages
  • Eating a balanced diet for overall dental health
  • Using antiseptic or fluoride rinses as directed by your dentist
  • Maintaining regular dental checkups and cleanings

Partnering for Your Oral Health

Consistently following proper oral care at home can reduce the frequency of professional cleanings. At Glenashton Dental Centre, our dentists evaluate your oral health and provide personalized guidance on the care and cleaning schedule that is right for you and your family.
