Sealants
Sealant are one of the best ways to prevent a cavity from starting. A sealant is basically a plastic coating over the top surface of the tooth that eliminates all those deep pits in your teeth where bacteria start to cause cavities.
Home Care
Our trained staff will show you the best way to maintain your oral hygiene by showing you how to effectively brush and floss your teeth.
How to brush your teeth:
- Place the brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums and gently brush using a small, circular motion, ensuring that you always feel the bristles on the gums.
- Brush the outer, inner, and biting surfaces of each tooth.
- Use the tip of the brush to clean the inside of the front teeth.
- Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
- Two minutes of brushing both morning and night is typically adequate to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
