Preventing Tooth Decay:
A Guide to a Healthy Smile
Introduction
At Brea Family Dentistry, we believe that prevention is the key to maintaining optimal oral health. Dr. Kourosh Maleki and our dedicated team are committed to helping you prevent tooth decay and enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile. Let’s explore practical steps you can take to keep your teeth strong and cavity-free.
- Brush Twice a Day with Fluoridated Toothpaste
- Brushing your teeth is the foundation of good oral hygiene. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Brush for at least two minutes to thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth.
- Pay attention to technique: Angle the brush toward the gumline and use gentle circular motions.
- Floss Between Your Teeth Regularly
- Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline.
- Floss at least once a day to prevent cavities in those hard-to-reach areas.
- Get Sealants
- Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth.
- They prevent bacteria and food particles from getting trapped in the deep grooves, reducing the risk of cavities.
- Fluoride Application
- Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities.
- Ask about professional fluoride treatments during your dental visits.
- Regular Dental Check-ups
- Visit your dentist every six months for check-ups and professional cleanings.
- Regular visits allow early detection of any issues and personalized advice on maintaining oral health.
