Brushing at least twice a day is very important. We recommend using a soft bristle toothbrush and a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Beyond that, we recommend that our patients floss at least once a day. Brushing cannot reach the areas between your teeth. Flossing also strengthens your gums and can help prevent gum disease. Beyond brushing and flossing, using a quality therapeutic mouthwash is also important.
