Just as there are so many different types of toothbrushes to choose from, each brush also has a different type of bristle! There are generally three different types of bristles; hard, medium, and soft. I always recommend that my patients, especially children and seniors, use a soft bristled toothbrush.
Using a hard and medium bristled brush can actually harm your teeth and gums by stripping the enamel from the teeth and irritating the gums so that they become red and sore, and can even cause gum recession. If you do use a hard or medium bristled brush as a personal preference, I recommend using an electric toothbrush.
Soft bristles are much gentler on your teeth and gums, and while patients of all ages are recommended to use soft bristled brushes, they are particularly great for children, seniors, patients recovering from a dental procedure, and patients wearing braces.
Soft bristles, and even extra-soft bristles are every bit as effective when it comes to cleaning your teeth; in fact, if you currently use a hard or medium bristled brush, try a soft bristled brush next time you buy a toothbrush and we bet you won’t even notice a difference.
Happy brushing!

From your very first visit to my dental office, I strive to provide superior treatment in a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. I thought we’d ask you, our wonderful patients: Have you been especially impressed by our work? Did my team go out of their way to make your day? Are you in love with your new smile?
Whether you’ve just come in for an appointment or your family has been visiting my office for years, I’d love to hear your feedback. You can write a review on my Google Place Page. Or, you can tell me by posting on Facebook.
Thank you!

Good dental health requires only a few minutes of your day. Today, I thought I’d provide some practical advice on how to improve your or your smile between your dental check-ups.
Start by brushing your teeth twice a day. Proper brushing techniques are an essential part of maintaining good oral health, as well as preventing gum disease. Brushing daily helps remove decay-causing plaque from tooth surfaces. Please let me know if you would like for my team to review brushing techniques with you or your child. Flossing daily will also prevent plaque to build up between the teeth and prevent stains between your teeth. Research has shown the bacteria of gum disease have been linked to coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes and memory loss. Lastly, I encourage you to throw away old toothbrushes and replace them every 2 or 3 months, or after an illness.
If you have any further questions about any of these tips, please give me a call or ask on Facebook.
