Maintaining a healthy smile is more than aesthetics—it’s essential for overall health. At Embarcadero Dentistry in the heart of San Francisco, our dedicated dental team is committed to providing the best oral hygiene practices. Whether you’re visiting for a routine check-up or seeking advanced treatments, we’re here to ensure your smile is beautiful and healthy with proper oral hygiene in San Francisco.
Oral hygiene in San Francisco is keeping your mouth clean and disease-free through brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. It is crucial in preventing oral health issues, including cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
But oral health doesn’t stop at your teeth. Research has shown that poor oral hygiene can contribute to serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and even complications during pregnancy.
That’s why our expert team at Embarcadero Dentistry emphasizes comprehensive oral care, ensuring your smile and body remain in peak condition.
Keeping your teeth and gums in top shape starts at home. Incorporate these steps into your daily routine to maintain excellent oral hygiene:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Gently brush for two minutes in circular motions to clean all surfaces of your teeth.
Take your time between those tight spaces! Flossing removes plaque and food particles that brushing alone can’t reach, preventing cavities and gum disease.
An antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash can help reduce bacteria, fight bad breath, and strengthen tooth enamel.
Swap your toothbrush or head every three months—or sooner if the bristles fray.
Sugary snacks and acidic drinks can erode enamel and increase the risk of cavities. Opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and dairy for strong, healthy teeth.
Water washes away food particles, prevents dry mouth, and helps maintain the natural balance of your oral environment.
Smoking and chewing tobacco can stain teeth, cause gum disease, and even increase your risk for oral cancer.
Schedule check-ups and cleanings every six months to avoid potential issues and ensure your oral health is monitored carefully.
