TM Prosthodontics Explains the Benefits of Proactive Oral Care

TM Prosthodontics, Miami's premier dental implant practice, discusses the importance of proactive dental care in maintaining oral health. 

"Dental care, after there is a problem, can be very expensive and require many surgeries to correct," remarked Tal Morr, Prosthodontist. "It is much easier to implement safeguards so that your teeth and gums stay healthy for longer.

Here are some healthy oral care tips:

1. Brushing Teeth 

Although this may sound obvious, over 30% of Americans do not brush their teeth often enough. This can create plaque build up which can lead to cavities and other preventable oral conditions. 

2. Flossing

Not surprisingly, even fewer Americans regularly floss. In contrast to brushing, only 30% of Americans regularly floss. Flossing is an essential way to remove the plaque and bacteria that gets stuck between the teeth. Without regular flossing, more people are likely to get infections and other complications. 

3. Mouthwash (Rinsing)

After brushing and flossing, it is important to rinse thoroughly with mouthwash. However, not all mouthwashes are made the same. The mouthwash must be an antiseptic or antibacterial wash to be the most effective. 

Following these practices can make the gums and teeth healthier and more resilient. However, sometimes a person's mouth may have suffered long-term issues that have consistently gone untreated. In this scenario, dentists advise looking into dental implants or veneers. 

Dental implants replicate the function of natural, healthy teeth. Because they are screwed into the gums, they do not need to be treated delicately, like dentures. Dental implants allow users the same quality of life as regular teeth, and implants also have the same appearance as teeth.
