Oral Hygiene
While regular visits to the dentist are important, nothing will help keep your smile healthy like a good oral hygiene routine. Thorough at-home dental care, including brushing and flossing, will help to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and greatly reduce the likelihood of developing decay and disease in your mouth. When you visit The Toothery, our dentist and team will provide you with additional information and instruction on the best oral hygiene practices. Please call us at 847-893-9099 to learn more about dental hygiene in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and make your appointment with Dr. Jessica Bertoglio.
During your time at our office, our team works hard to improve your oral health. It is essential, however, that you continue taking care of your smile at home through consistent oral hygiene. Good dental hygiene includes a number of daily habits and practices that help to keep your smile healthy and bright. Our dentist recommends that you follow these basic steps to help your smile stay in optimal health:
-
Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste that includes fluoride.
-
Floss at least once every day. The most important time to floss is just before you go to sleep at night.
-
Eat a balanced diet. Limiting your intake of very sugary and acidic foods can help to prevent tooth decay.
-
Maintain your regular visits to the dentist every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to make certain we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.
