Preventive dentistry also includes the proper care every day. By brushing and flossing
the teeth after every meal, you are taking the steps necessary to ensure a favorable report at
your next dental appointment! Patients who are not caring for their smile appropriately may be
risking extensive problems that can lead to costly repairs in the future. We also encourage
patients to book an appointment at AlignBar if there have been any changes in the smile that are
of concern, such as bleeding while brushing the teeth, swelling and redness of the gum tissues,
or new sensitivity that may be indicative of a new cavity or infection. Even if your recall visit is
months away, a phone call for an evaluation when problems arise is still warranted and often
necessary. Our dental team can answer questions about home health care, including the right
kinds of toothbrushes and kinds of toothpaste to use each day.
