Dental Hygiene Month is a celebration for dental hygienists and the work that they do. Our hygiene team here at Flower Mound Dental & Dr. William E. Wyatt Jr. DDS, is dedicated to the health of our patients.
This year, the awareness is focusing on four routines that can help people maintain healthy smiles: Brush, Floss, Rinse, and Chew. According to MouthHealthy.org, the American Dental Association’s consumer website, the ADA recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, for two minutes, with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of the brush should fit the mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.
According to Dr. Wyatt and Flower Mound Dental, flossing is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums, according to MouthHealthy.org. The ADA recommends cleaning between your teeth once a day to remove plaque that is not removed by brushing. Plaque can eventually harden into calculus or tartar. Because teeth alone account for less than half of the mouth, rinsing can help eliminate bacteria that brushing and flossing cannot. Rinsing often, along with brushing and flossing, may help reduce the chance of cavities and infection. Lastly, clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent cavities. The chewing of sugarless gum increases the flow of saliva, which washes away food and other debris, and neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth.
As an adult, you are not immune to dental problems. In addition to maintaining a good home care routine, the best thing you can do is to schedule regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. You also have a variety of cosmetic options available, including orthodontics (braces), whitening (both in-office and at-home) and bonding (veneers).
Let’s make sure you’re scheduled for your preventative care visit with one of our amazing hygienists. Give us a call at (972) 351-8555 to schedule your appointment. For all new clients, when you call in October to schedule your appointment, our National Dental Hygiene Month gift to you is a FREE Dental Exam. (Value $75) We look forward to seeing you soon, and don’t forget to focus on the Daily 4: Brush, Floss, Rinse, and Chew!
