Visit Us For Cleanings
Even with daily brushing and flossing – which is extremely important, by the way – you cannot thoroughly clean your teeth through your own efforts. In fact, you can remove some of the plaque that sticks to your teeth but without six-month dental cleanings, some plaque will remain. This can lead to tooth decay or gum disease, both of which may affect the esthetic value of your smile. Keep your teeth truly clean with dental cleanings.
Clean Your Teeth At Home
You eat and drink every single day. When foods and beverages remain on your teeth, they have the power to result in staining and discoloration. Keep in mind that even if you don’t eat highly staining foods, natural aging will still usually result in discoloration. However, if you indulge quite often in staining agents like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries – or if you use tobacco products – staining is likely. Fortunately, brushing your teeth and flossing can help prevent staining, while keeping newly whitened teeth looking fresh. Brush two times a day every single day. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and make sure you brush for two minutes each time. Floss once a day, too.
