Are you ready to see how you did?
1. "Most children aren't ready to brush their teeth on their own until they're eight," says Dr. Jergins. "They just don't have the dexterity and ability until then. In our family, we brush our children's teeth at bedtime, and let them practice on their own in the morning."
2. Be sure to schedule your cleanings twice a year. And, if you've been diagnosed with periodontal disease, you might need to come in for cleanings as often as every three months. But, it's worth it -- especially if you want to keep your teeth!
3. Studies show that people are able to get their teeth cleaner when they use an electric toothbrush. Personally, I can't believe how much cleaner my teeth feel after I brush with my electric toothbrush, as compared with my manual toothbrush. Ask Dr. Jergins which electric toothbrush is right for you.
4. Implants have great advantages over traditional dentures, for most patients in need of such treatment. Their appearance is more natural than that of dentures, and they are more comfortable for eating and speaking.
5. The next time you visit The Gentle Dentist in Spring Hill, say hello to Julie, our dental hygienist. Julie has been part of The Gentle Dentist team for almost eight years. She was the first employee Dr. Jergins hired. And, Julie was also the valedictorian of her dental hygiene class.
