Do electric toothbrushes really work?

The answer to this question is yes. Many times it is difficult for patients to adequately clean with a normal toothbrush. We have found that for many of our patients the use of a rotary or sonic toothbrush has improved dental hygiene.

How do I keep my teeth clean?

For optimum oral health, it is important to brush your teeth at least two times a day. Flossing once a day is important for cleaning between your teeth where the tooth brush will not reach.

Is soda pop really that bad for my teeth?

Drinking pop will increase your chance of tooth decay. Soda pop, sports drinks and juices all contain sugar and acid. When used frequently, they will not only feed the bacteria that cause decay, but they also acid etch the teeth. We recommend that the frequent use of these drinks be avoided. We also recommend that when these drinks are consumed, that you avoid sipping them throughout the day as this is the most dangerous method of consumption.
