Three at-home dental care mistakes we see often:
1. Brushing too hard (it wears down enamel, it doesn`t clean better)
2. Skipping the tongue (bacteria loves to hide here too)
3. Rinsing straight after brushing (it washes away the fluoride before it can work)
Small tweaks, better results. Any questions, ask us at your next visit.

"Do I really need a clean every 6 months?"
Short answer, yes. Here`s why:
Plaque forms constantly, it`s a natural process you can`t fully stop at home. Brushing and flossing get most of it, but a professional clean removes the plaque and tartar hiding in the spots your toothbrush can`t reach.
Regular cleans also mean small issues get caught before they become big (expensive) ones.

Be honest, are you actually brushing for the full 2 minutes?
Most people stop at 45 seconds. That`s not enough time to properly clear plaque from every surface.
Try splitting your mouth into 4 sections and spending 30 seconds on each. Your future self (and your dentist) will thank you.

"What actually IS a dental implant?"
A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone, acting as the root for a new tooth. Once it`s healed and bonded with the bone, a custom porcelain crown is attached on top.
The result: a replacement tooth that looks, feels and functions like the real thing.
