Dental Cleaning Tips

It is recommended that you get a professional dental cleaning once every six months. These appointments are necessary to make sure your teeth and gums remain in good health and to detect any problems before they get more severe. Many oral health problems start off as asymptomatic, so you may not even realize something is wrong until you are in extreme pain. But our West Hollywood dentist has the necessary tools to find these problems and take care of them promptly. However, you should also diligently care for your teeth on your own time.

You should brush your teeth twice a day and floss your teeth at least once a day. And make sure you are brushing with the right techniques. You should hold your toothbrush at a 45 degree angle against your gums and gently move it in a circular motion. This will clean your teeth better than just going back and forth.

You should also be regularly changing your toothbrush once every three months. Your toothbrush will accumulate bacteria over time, and eventually, it will become ineffective at cleaning your teeth. You should also change your toothbrush after you have been sick. Daily dental maintenance along with regular visit to our expert in dental cleaning in West Hollywood will help ensure long-lasting oral health.
