Daily Oral Dental Hygiene Routine: Brush up on the Basics
At BioSmile Dentistry we recommend to purchase an electric tooth brush and use it every single day twice a day, in the morning after breakfast and at night after dinner or before going to bed.
We like the Curaprox brand, as it is sonic and the brush heads are small and ergonomic!
We also recommend to floss daily and use a mouth rinse. We like the organic Gum tonic and Stella Life which has homeopathic remedies; both maintain gum health and should be used daily.
If you have a waterpik we recommend to use one capful of Gum tonic in the reservoir to freshen your mouth on top of the water flosser.
If the spaces in between your teeth are wider we recommend to use Proxa brushes (small, medium or large by Butler Gum) and soft picks to stimulate your gum tissues.
In order to clean your back teeth properly we like the end tuft by Butler as well, which will help remove the biofilm where it’s difficult to access with the electric toothbrush.
In terms of the sequence: we recommend to brush first, then use the interproximal brushes, soft picks and tuft end if appropriate, floss and then use the mouth rinse and waterpik if you have one! That way your mouth will stay sparkling clean!
We also recommend 2 professional cleanings a year. If you are in our perio program please make sure to book your 3 or 4 yearly appointments ahead of time so that we can help you maintain your oral health.
