During the 6 months between professional cleanings, it’s important to make sure that you have a good at-home oral care routine. Thorough oral hygiene not only helps keep your smile in the best shape possible, but it can also reduce concerns that may arise during professional cleaning.
To make the most of your at-home oral care routine, remember to:
Brush regularly at least twice a day, for a minimum of two minutes each time.
Floss daily around all surfaces of the tooth, including the gumline.
Incorporate small amounts of fluoride, such as through a mouthwash.
Visit with your dentist or dental hygienist with any concerns or questions you may have.
