If you prefer to brush your teeth after eating, be sure to wait 30-60 minutes, especially after eating something acidic. This helps protect your enamel. The most important thing is to brush your teeth twice a day! Give us a call at 902-423-3234 with any specific questions or concerns.

After your professional dental cleaning, your teeth and gums are at their freshest, so it’s important to protect that clean feeling. Avoid eating or drinking anything dark-colored for a few hours, as coffee, tea, and red wine can cause immediate staining. Skip crunchy or sticky foods that could irritate your gums, and hold off on whitening products until the next day to prevent sensitivity. Gentle care helps your smile stay bright and healthy after every visit. Call us today at 902-423-3234 to schedule your next cleaning.

Did you know brushing only cleans about two-thirds of your teeth? The other one-third, the tight spaces between your teeth, can only be cleaned by flossing. When you skip flossing, plaque and bacteria stay trapped where your toothbrush can’t reach, leading to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease over time. Flossing just once a day can make a big difference in your oral health! Give us a call at 902-423-3234 to learn more.

Brushing and flossing are essential, but they can’t do it all. Regular dental visits every six months help catch problems early, prevent buildup, and keep your smile healthy! Consistency matters. Skipping appointments may not seem like much, but it can lead to bigger, more costly issues later. Staying on schedule means fewer surprises and a healthier smile for the long run. Call 902-423-3234 and schedule your next visit today!

Did you know rinsing after brushing can actually undo some of your hard work? When you rinse, you wash the fluoride in your toothpaste away. This ingredient strengthens enamel and protects against cavities. Instead, spit out the excess toothpaste and let that thin layer of fluoride keep working for you. Your teeth will thank you, and so will we! Please don't hesitate to contact us at 902-423-3234 with any questions.

Brushing too hard can damage your teeth and gums. You may think aggressive brushing means better cleaning, but it can lead to gum recession, enamel wear, and tooth sensitivity. Opt for soft-bristled toothbrushes instead and hold it at a 45-degree angle using circular motions. Your teeth need care, not force. Questions about your brushing technique? Call us at 902-423-3234.

Snacking can actually help your smile if you choose the right foods. Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples, carrots, and celery help scrub away plaque and stimulate saliva production, neutralizing acids in your mouth. So next time you snack, go crunchy! What’s your favorite tooth-friendly snack? Add in the comments below. Schedule your next appointment with us at 902-423-3234.

Our tongues are like windows into our health, and they can tell us a lot! A white coating may indicate poor oral hygiene or dehydration, red patches may signal vitamin deficiencies, and a smooth tongue may indicate a lack of iron. Brush your tongue daily not only to keep your breath fresh but also to alert you to early health issues. Have you checked your tongue today? Call us at 902-423-3234.
