Procrastination

Especially with the economy the way it is these days I wanted to leave you with a bit of advise. Don't procrastinate with your dental care. Keep yourself in maintenance phase which is getting your routine dental care done. Keep up on your check ups with x-rays. If we find a small cavity that is easy to fix. If you leave it go and you procrastinate, then it could cost you quite a bit more. You may end up like a lot of my procrastinators needing a root canal when in the beginning you only needed a small filling.
Why pay more. It will cost you double. So to save you money and time stay tuned in with your routine dental care.

Dental and Heart health by Toothbrushing

Tooth brushing as you know is so important for your teeth, but now we are finding out it is also important for your heart. Tooth brushing should be done three times a day and you should floss before you brush. Tooth brushing done with an electric sonic tooth brush has been shown to be approximately 60 % better than by hand. The sonic tooth brushes like the one I recommend "Sonicare" are the best. Tooth brushing removes the plaque build up that harbor the bacteria that is also bad for your heart. You also should get your teeth professionally cleaned by your hygienist so she can go under the tissue and remove any plaque or tarter build up that might have occurred since your last cleaning. I also recommend to my patients using a antibacterial rinse after brushing at least at bed time to prevent plaque formation and keep your teeth and heart healthy. I like recommending Listerine total care. This has the antibacterial and
Electric tooth brushing is good for your children as well. They can start with a crest spin brush pro when you think they are able . You will see this as a great benefit.
