Seven Steps to Oral Health
As a dentist, I have heard patients swear they brush every day three or more times a day, yet during their dental check-ups they are told they are not doing a good job.
There is a right way and wrong way towards home oral hygiene routine. Even if you brush ten times a day, you may hear the same complaint from your dentist during your visits. This is why it’s important to learn the right way.
Popular brands of toothpaste and mouthwash claim to magically prevent tartar, gum disease and cavities. You may be surprised to learn that many of these products contain ingredients that can cause allergies and canker sores as you absorb these substances right through the mouth tissues. Children are most at risk since their targeted toothpaste has added artificial colors and flavors to motivate them to brush.
