Oral Health: The Ultimate Guide

A Message on Oral Health from All Brite Dental!

Brushing your teeth is the MOST important part of your oral hygiene routine.  Taking care of your teeth will greatly help you maintain a happy and healthy smile!  We've put together a short blog on the importance of brushing your teeth, with information from MouthHealthy.org!

The ADA Recommends:

• Brushing 2-3 times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening
• Replace your tooth brush every 2-3 months
• Choose an ADA Accepted  fluoride toothpaste

Proper Techniques

• Brush at a 45 degree angle
• Brush perpendicular to your teeth
• Brush the outside, inside and behind each tooth
• Brush your tongue to help remove bacteria

Other Oral Health Hygiene

• Floss daily to remove plaque build up between teeth
• Eat a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks
• Visit your dentist regularly for professional exams

If you have any questions on which toothbrush or toothpaste to use, talk us at All Brite Dental.  Let us know what kind of toothbrush and toothpaste you use on our Facebook page, Linked Here!

ADA Launches Dental Symptom Checker at MouthHealhty.org

The American Dental Association has launched a interactive web platform program Dental Symptom Checker on MouthHealthy.org.  This program allows patients to search different symptoms by showing physical locations.  The Dental Symptom Checker shows accurate information on their different oral healthy symptoms, as well as offer guidance for different situations.

It's important to remember that the Dental Symptom Checker is not as good as visiting your local dentist!  The web based program doesn't have the intuition as a trained dentist.

The Dental Symptom Checker launched by the American Dental Association (ADA) can be found here!
