Oral hygiene is very important. In fact, it’s vital for a top-notch oral health and smile. This is why your dentist, Dr. Daniel Wood, strongly encourages you to keep up on oral hygiene regularly. To help you understand oral hygiene a little more so you can make it a top priority, our dentist is happy to share some oral hygiene facts with you. Those facts are:

-You should brush your teeth twice a day. As you brush, you should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

-You should floss your teeth once a day. It’s best if you use a flossing product that is easier to maneuver so you don’t risk damaging your gums as you clean between your teeth.

-For a top-notch oral hygiene routine, you can include rinsing with mouthwash. Make sure to use fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash. These products can help strengthen your teeth and kill bacteria in the mouth.

-You should also include your dental checkup in your oral hygiene routine. This means you need to visit our office every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam to keep your smile healthy and strong.
