We suggest changing your toothbrush –– or toothbrush head for electric brushes –– every three months.
Gum discomfort could be caused by brushing your teeth too forcefully or using a toothbrush with harsh bristles. Because your gums are formed of tissue, they can become damaged and unpleasant to the touch if they are irritated repeatedly.
Plaque is formed when bacteria, acid, food waste, and saliva combine to adhere to the teeth. Plaque acids eat away at the enamel surface of the teeth, causing cavities. To avoid tooth decay, follow these steps: Brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day.
X-rays allow a dentist to assess a patient's oral health and uncover underlying concerns with the teeth, jaw, and soft tissues of the mouth. They are completely safe.
