The success of your hygienist treatment or preventive dentistry appointment with us is determined by how well you look after your teeth and gums at home.
Plaque is always in our mouths, and it is waiting to get back down into those gum pockets once you leave our Dunedin dental practice after your exam and teeth clean treatment.
In other words, the at-home care routine plays a crucial role in your oral health, just as your preventive checkups and teeth cleans do.
At-Home Oral Care
Be sure to brush your teeth no less than twice daily and floss at least once. Of course, if you can clean your teeth and gums after every meal, all the better!
And be sure to clean your teeth on all sides using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Additionally, use a fresh section of floss for every passthrough.
