What Is Dental Hygiene?

Taking care of one’s teeth and gums is the cornerstone of a healthy mouth and an attractive smile. Not only essential for eating but dental hygiene or oral hygiene also affects speech clarity; poor oral health can even lead to much more severe issues if left unaddressed. Therefore, one must give diligent attention to teeth and gums to maintain optimal overall wellness.

Regular dental hygiene practices are a must to keep your smile in its happiest and healthiest shape. It takes a few simple steps: 

  • Be sure to brush at least twice daily for plaque removal and prevention
  • Flossing should be done once per day
  • Eating nutrient-rich foods like calcium and vitamin D provides essential support to tooth strength
  • Limiting the consumption of sugary foods helps protect against tooth decay
  • Make an appointment every six months with your dentist for optimal oral health

Brushing your teeth is essential for maintaining oral hygiene – and how you do it matters. Are you doing it correctly? Light brushing won’t get the job done, but brushing too hard could damage the gum. For best results, take 2-3 minutes of proper scrubbing with short strokes and ensure you reach each tooth surface thoroughly. Our dental hygienists will provide insight into appropriate techniques during your next visit.

Why should you visit Dr. Brayman for a dental cleaning and regular dental care?

Dr. Brayman is dedicated to offering her patients the most advanced dental care available, and some of the latest technologies make your dental checkup a lot easier. We offer digital X-rays, which produce rapid results and enhanced images so you can see where problems exist. Digital X-rays also make it easy to compare images before and after treatment.

Our dental hygienist uses a state-of-the-art device, the DIAGNOdent, that uses a laser to find small areas of hidden decay. If you need local anesthesia, we use the Magic Wand, which eliminates long needles and painlessly delivers anesthesia. And finally, we help you relax by massaging dental chairs.
