We will work with you to make an individualized plan and teach you the best ways to keep your mouth healthy and clean.  In our office, it’s common to see us working with patients in the mirror to perfect brushing and flossing techniques.  We believe that education is the most powerful tool to good oral health, and proper oral hygiene at home is the key to success.  In general, we recommend soft bristled toothbrushes and prefer electric toothbrushes for our patients.  We usually recommend fluoride-based toothpaste. For most patients, we recommend brushing your teeth twice daily and cleaning between your teeth with floss or a waterflosser to remove the plaque that accumulates on your teeth.
