Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing every day will help you maintain good oral hygiene by helping you reduce bacteria in your mouth. Brushing for one minute each on your top and bottom teeth, your tongue, and flossing is a standard cleaning routine that will ensure you maintain a bright smile and fresh breath!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"c5-accordion-single\"><div class=\"c5-accordion-tab \" data-id=\"ntzQS\"><span class=\"c5-tabs-plus-minus\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"c5-icon fa fa-question-circle-o\" data-id=\"ntzQS\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">How often am I supposed to change my toothbrush?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"c5-pane pane-ntzQS\" style=\"display:none;\"><p>Toothbrushes don\u2019t last forever and need to be changed out every three months as recommended by your dentist. However, if you are using an electric toothbrush, you may not need to change it as often so be sure to check the direction label. <\/p>\n<p>For patients that currently have gum disease, it is recommended that you change your toothbrush every four to six weeks to prevent the growth of bacteria. After you are done brushing your teeth, rinse your toothbrush with hot water to keep the bristles free from germs, and if you were sick, dispose of your toothbrush and replace it right away.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"c5-accordion-single\"><div class=\"c5-accordion-tab \" data-id=\"vCLHJ\"><span class=\"c5-tabs-plus-minus\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"c5-icon fa fa-question-circle-o\" data-id=\"vCLHJ\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">What is gum disease?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"c5-pane pane-vCLHJ\" style=\"display:none;\"><p>Gum disease is also known as periodontal disease and is caused by the excessive buildup of plaque and bacteria, tobacco usage, teeth grinding, certain medications, and even genetics. Gingivitis is just the beginning of gum disease and is treatable if detected earlier on. If it\u2019s neglected for too long, gum disease can advance quickly and result in permanent tooth and bone loss.
