Your teeth need to be properly taken care of, and that includes maintaining great dental hygiene habits. If you are practicing not-so-good dental habits, you’re putting your oral health at risk. Brushing and flossing your teeth are two very important tasks. They help keep your mouth clean and fresh while also promoting great oral health. But, are you brushing correctly? How do you know if you are/aren’t? These are common questions that are asked at our Waverly, NE office whenever patients visit us during their regular checkups and cleanings.
The truth is, there is a right and wrong way to brushing teeth. Some patients don’t brush their teeth for nearly as long as they should or aren’t brushing each individual tooth. Whatever the case may be, we want you to know how to properly brush. Remember to floss, too! Dr. Vacek wants every one of his patients to live with excellent oral health, and properly brushing your teeth can help you achieve great oral health. When your oral health is in great shape, it usually means good things for your overall health, too. If you think you may not be brushing correctly or could use a few tips, we’ve got you covered. Dr. Vacek is the dentist Waverly, NE residents can trust.
