Q: Are there any tips that you can give when it comes to brushing my teeth?
A: We encourage our patients to brush their teeth and tongue regularly to avoid bad breath and other oral disease. The best way to brush you teeth is by small circular motions in a gentle manner, according to Oceanside DDS. This will prevent you in having gum problems. Brush all the surfaces of your teeth for three minutes and use a soft brush. Then, check the back package for the ADA seal as this is most recommended.
Q: Is it true that some healthy snacks can give cavities?
A: Yes, this is true. Examples of healthy snacks are raisins and fruit juice. Although they are healthy, they are high in sugar. Constant consumption will lead to increase cavity formation. Healthy snacks and other foods that are high in sugar should be taken in moderation.
