What Toothbrush do we Suggest to our Patients?

There are so many options for toothbrushes when you go to the store, it can be quite confusing. I've been a hygienist for 15 years now, and I can tell you that as soon as my patient opens his mouth,  I know immediately if they own an electric toothbrush or a manual one.

There are so many brushes on the market to look at that makes it difficult to choose.

First of all, the brush should be rechargeable (NOT a battery operated one). The best brushes
are either the Oral B or Phillips Sonicare.  They have both been available for a long time, so that they have been tested and proven to give long term results. Once you have purchased one, it will  last for a long time.  The brushes are of good quality and reasonable in cost.

My personal preference is the Sonicare Diamond Cleaner. I have found it to be gentle on the gums
and light to hold. My patients have spoken very positively about it, which means they are using it.
If you find a system you like, you will always have better results. This is  also a great travel toothbrush since it is USB rechargeable.  That is very important if travel is a large part of your work
responsibility.

Why Choose Invisalign® for a Healthy Smile ?

When you first think about orthodontic treatment, you probably picture someone whose smile is not very attractive.  Well, we are here to tell you that with advances in dentistry today, we are using a much easier version of orthodontic treatment called Invisalign®, to radically improve the health of our patients.  The health of your gums is most  important.


When your teeth are crowded, you may have difficulty in cleaning your teeth properly.  You lose bone faster.  You have difficulty flossing.  Using Invisalign® to straighten the teeth allows the teeth to be in the right position.  Brushing and flossing your teeth is easy. Success! And the quality of the bone improves too! And when you are wearing Invisalign®, no one knows unless you tell them.
It is invisible.


Here is another solution to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime. Do you want to know if  Invisalign® can help you?  Contact us for a free consultation.  It has been clinically proven to be effective in improving overall dental health!
