Proper brushing is essential in preventative dentistry. The proper way to brush your teeth is to use a soft nylon toothbrush with round-ended bristles. Next both the tooth surface and the gum line should be brushed by placing the brush at a 45-degree angle along the gum line and brushing gently in a rolling back-and-forth motion on the surface of the teeth. When brushing you should cover the inner surfaces of your teeth and then tilt the brush in order to brush the front teeth. The ideal brushing technique also involves the brushing of the tongue. Brushing should last until all teeth a gum lines have been thoroughly brushed.

Some examples of preventive dentistry you might receive in-office include:

By getting regular check-ups and screenings for oral disease you will increase your chances of catching something before it gets serious. The ADA recommends that patients seek dental care from a dental care professional at least twice a year. This is suggested so that the dentist may detect and hopefully prevent the signs of periodontal disease, dental decay, or any form of dental disease detected during a visit to the dentist’s office.
