Charlotte Dentist: Oral Hygiene

 

Oral Hygiene
the main ingredient to upholding beauty and health of your teeth is by the removal of plaque and tarter on a regular basis. each patient is an individual and the frequency of visits is based upon your oral health and needs. during your cleanings we will update your medical history/x-rays, perform a head and neck oral cancer screening, check your teeth/gums/bone levels for oral disease, review oral hygiene instructions, and monitor your oral health.  fluoride treatments are provided for children and for adults on individual bases.

below is suggested oral heath questions i hear most commonly

(i have sore gums!)- perhaps try the following  flossing, salt water rinse, brushing 2x a day, or rinse with listerine

(i have decay or my teeth ache!)- floss, brush 2x a day, and use act mouth wash (after brushing, 30 sec. rinse don’t eat or drink for 30 minutes use 2x day)
