At the practice of Dr. Baban Mahal, patients in the area of Granite Bay, CA, have access to a knowledgeable and skilled dental professional that can assist in helping those interested in achieving and maintaining oral health and wellness. When it comes to keeping the mouth clean, patients have a variety of tools at their disposal in order to achieve the results they desire. Our team of professionals can educate you on the tools you need to use at home between dental visits to avoid the development of problems such as periodontal disease and tooth decay.
Use the right instruments to maintain a healthy smile!
Below are a few of the tools used to achieve oral health:
- It is best that you pick a toothbrush that is comfortable for you to use and that will reach all of your teeth. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every three or four months or sooner if the bristles become frayed or if you have recently been ill.
- When choosing a toothpaste, look for one that contains fluoride. Fluoride helps to protect the teeth from cavities and can be beneficial in protecting the smile from decay and disease.
- Mouthwash can help to remove food and plaque from your teeth and gums. Be sure to choose a mouthwash that does not contain alcohol, as this can dry out your mouth. If you have certain dental health concerns, such as bad breath or periodontal disease, your dentist may make a mouthwash recommendation for you or provide a prescription.
- Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth and along the gum line. Be sure to floss daily, using a gentle back-and-forth motion.
