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.

Getting ready for an Interview?

It has been surprising lately all the phone calls the office has been getting regarding getting ready for an interview. I know in different parts of the country it can be a little different , but as an Orlando Dentist I can tell you having your teeth fixed and in good condition is a must. I treat a lot of Disney patients, and they have to have their front teeth without cavities. Disney is all about image and so are the rest of the parks, as well as potential employers. This is the exact point I wanted to make today in my blog; is when going on a interview there are multiple things you can do to show yourself off. Along with the outfit and the cloths your teeth and smile are the most important.
I would recommend before going for the interview to get your teeth professionally cleaned with a good prophylaxis by the hygienist. With this you are removing all the stain and making the teeth whiter to show off at the interview. Next get any cavities filled that you can see, and that are visibly noticeable. You don't want to show up with holes or brown spots on the front teeth. Lastly, if you can get your teeth whitened with strips or trays filled with the bleach. This will approve appearance and overall perception.
Having the teeth straight is also a plus, but I know after you get the job they will have benefits for orthodontics and you can get your teeth straighter if need be.
Hope this helps and good luck with you future employment.
Thanks Dr. Aschacher
