Q: What oral hygiene instructions do you recommend for home care of my teeth?

A: We recommend brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush. You can use any toothpaste that you like, as long as it contains fluoride. However, many people find that tartar control toothpastes cause tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. You should also floss daily, at least once and preferably twice per day. Many patients find an electric toothbrush such as the Sonicare or Braun to be very helpful. Please feel free to ask the dentist or dental hygienist if you have any questions.
