Between a Tooth and A Soft Place
Did you know bacteria forms on the teeth every 24 hours? That is why it is important to brush at least once a day. Regular tooth brushing will help keep your teeth healthy, your implants in good shape and it will help to prevent gum disease. The ADA recommends brushing at least twice every day. It is important to be brushing with a toothbrush that is in good shape so be sure to replace yours any time you notice it is damaged or worn out (e.g. bristles out of shape or discoloration). I would also recommend that when you do grab a new toothbrush; get one that is not hard-bristled. A soft-bristle toothbrush will do less damage to the structures in the mouth. The importance of brushing your teeth can not be overstated so, be sure to follow these guidelines to stay on the path to a happy smile!Lloyd E. Parmley, D.M.D.
