Taking care of your teeth and gums is vital for preventing tooth decay, maintaining a bright smile, and safeguarding your overall health. At Wagin Dental, we help you and your family establish effective oral hygiene routines, minimizing the need for frequent dental visits.
Prevention is key in oral care. Following your dentist’s advice reduces the likelihood of needing procedures like extractions, fillings, or root canals. Daily brushing, flossing, and a low-sugar diet prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to:
Tooth decay, yellowing, and erosion
Gum disease (periodontal disease)
Systemic diseases like heart disease
Bad breath
Teeth Brushing: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, covering all areas including your tongue and gums.
Flossing and Mouthwash: Floss daily to remove trapped food particles, and use fluoride mouthwash as recommended.
Healthy Diet: Limit sugar intake to prevent plaque formation. Avoid hard foods and acidic drinks that harm teeth.
Oral Examinations
Schedule oral exams every six months. This allows us to detect early signs of dental issues such as decay or gum disease for timely treatment. During exams, we clean and scale your teeth in a relaxed environment.
- Brushing: Brush teeth thoroughly twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes.
- Flossing: Daily flossing to clean between teeth and remove food particles.
- Mouthwash: Use antibacterial mouthwash for fresh breath and reduced bacteria.
- Healthy Diet: Eat balanced, calcium-rich foods. Limit sugary snacks and acidic drinks.
- Regular Check-ups: Schedule dental visits to assess oral health and receive professional cleanings.
For most people, visit every six months for check-ups and cleanings, usually covered by insurance. Frequency may vary based on oral health needs.
Periodontitis is advanced gum disease causing inflammation and bone damage supporting teeth. Starting with gingivitis due to plaque buildup, it progresses to periodontitis with tartar forming pockets between gums and teeth. Symptoms include swollen gums, bleeding, bad breath, and loose teeth.
Manage periodontitis with daily brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. Regular dental cleanings and treatments are crucial to control progression and maintain oral health.
