Keeping your gums and teeth healthy requires daily cleaning and routine visits to your family dentist. Rather than allowing plaque and tartar to build up and causing serious decay and infection, Dentaworks Hawaii in Honolulu encourages you to brush your teeth twice a day in order to maintain a healthy and bright smile.. Of course, dental health experts want you to floss too, but failing to do the bare minimum will only lead to cavities and gum disease.

 

Brushing your teeth effectively with an  soft bristled compact toothbrush and toothpaste with fluoride, allows you to remove any residue or food particles from the surfaces of your teeth.  Brushing your teeth correctly in small, circular motions for at least two minutes along with brushing your tongue will help freshen your breath. It is important to have a toothbrush that is not worn or frayed and should be changed every three to four months.

 

Making brushing a part of your morning and evening routines will also help prevent tooth loss, preserving your smile and putting off the need for dental implants or dentures. It is also important to clean between the teeth with either floss or other dental accessories (soft pick, water pic, proxabrush) to thoroughly remove plaque or food particles.
