Brushing Teeth, Flossing Among Recommended Daily Habits. Business Insider (8/21, Gillett) includes brushing teeth and flossing among 17 quick and easy daily habits that readers recommend to become a healthier person. The article notes that the ADA recommends brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Not following this guidance could increase the risk for developing other health issues, the article adds. In an article in the Free Press (ME) (8/18), the Maine Dental A...ssociation noted that the American Dental Association recommends brushing for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between teeth once a day with floss or another interdental cleaner, and visiting a dentist regularly. In the Harvard University (MA) (8/17) Harvard Health Blog, Robert Shmerling, MD, an associate professor in medicine at Harvard Medical School, discusses recent news questioning the benefits of dental flossing, citing a lack of research. Dr. Shmerling states, These headlines...miss the mark on this flossing kerfuffle, and he adds that unproven is unproven, not disproven. The obvious next step, says Dr. Shmerling, is for researchers to have a well-funded, well-designed study to examine the health impact of flossing. In the meantime, I’m not going to wait for the research; I’m going to keep flossing, he states. The ADA has released a statement on the benefits of using interdental cleaners, and a Science in the News article titled The Medical Benefit of Daily Flossing Called Into Question discusses evidence about the impact of flossing on oral health. MouthHealthy.org also provides resources for patients on flossing, including the correct flossing technique.

Caring for baby teeth is important because the teeth not only help children chew, but also help form a path for permanent teeth to follow, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Did you have braces when you were younger? Are you feeling like your teeth are shifting out of alignment? WE CAN HELP. In only a matter of weeks, let us help you get back the straight you want. Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces and uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to treat patients with Invisalign. How Does Invis...align Work? You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed. You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
