Maintaining proper oral hygiene habits between dental visits is essential and includes brushing twice a day and daily flossing, ideally before going to bed at night. You should also try to rinse your mouth with water after each meal if you're unable to brush. Your dentist or hygienist can give you tips on the best ways to care for your teeth at home.
We take a series of full-mouth x-rays of your teeth and jaw as part of your examination.
