Oral Fitness Know-How
Test your oral fitness knowledge with these tips and facts.
- Most people don't need a very stiff toothbrush. A soft or medium brush used properly provides gentle cleaning without wearing away teeth enamel.
- Not all mouthwashes are created equal. Look for American Dental Association (ADA) approval.
- The American Dental Hygienists' Association estimates that 75% of Americans have some form of periodontal disease. Visit your dentist to detect and handle problems before they turn into tooth loss.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can be a hidden underlying cause of recurring headaches, migraines and neck pain. A Los Angeles TMJ dentist like Dr. Bernie Villadiego can diagnose issues and get you on the road to recovery.
- Over the counter teeth whitening toothpastes do not contain bleach. For teeth whitening with the latest bleaching systems, contact us as our Chatsworth, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office.
- Twice-yearly visits to your dentist can identify problems before they become severe. Those twice-yearly cleanings also help to keep your teeth in great shape for the long haul. Your dentist can recommend the best dental hygiene regimen for your needs.
