Dental Oasis of Orange County is your refuge for trusted guidance. Oral health requires regular visits to our office in Huntington Beach, California, and consistent, thorough home care. The 6-month check-up is an opportunity to provide tailored suggestions on techniques and products to step up your oral hygiene game at home.
Fundamental to home care are the right toothbrush, floss products, and proper technique. It is not sufficient to simply brush and floss each day.
You must clean your teeth, gums, and other areas of your mouth properly. So, how should you brush and floss? Again, our recommendations are always personalized to your needs and situation. But there are some general truths here that would apply to all patients, regardless of their specific circumstances and characteristics.
Every 24 to 48 hours, plaque builds up on the teeth. This destructive bacterial film erodes the teeth and triggers toxins that break down the gums and supportive bone.
Once plaque build-up hardens to form tartar or calculus, it can only be removed by specially-trained and specially-equipped dental professionals, like our hygienists.
Brushing consistently and correctly is essential. A few pointers:
Teeth are not one-dimensional. Even the most diligent and consistent brushing removes only about two-thirds of the bacteria, food debris, and plaque that forms on the teeth and other tissues.
By flossing, you are “capturing” what gets left behind to minimize your risk of developing decay and gum disease.
