While twice-yearly dental cleanings are essential to the health of your teeth, they can’t maintain your oral health alone. Between cleanings, you’ll need to keep up with a crucial hygiene regimen. Always brush and floss at least twice a day, and ideally after each meal. If you can’t brush after each meal, make sure to do so every morning and night. Use anti-bacterial mouthwash as a further preventative measure. Medora Dental Care can recommend the best mouthwash brands for your oral health. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every two months or so, and always use soft-bristled brushes. Ask our Abbotsford staff about what to look for when purchasing a new toothbrush. Stay vigilant of any problems arising with your oral health. Should you notice something abnormal or experience dental pain, get in touch with Medora Dental Care right away.
