How do I handle my child's dental emergency? Labor Day: Our favorite holiday to rest!
If you don't already do so, it's time to brush, floss, and rinse as Drs. Hacker, Finnegan, Ruiz taught you. Brush at least twice a day or after meals, and floss your teeth every day. If recommended, use mouthwash to kill germs in your mouth. If you are not able to brush your teeth after eating, swish water around in your mouth to remove the food from your teeth. Leaving carbohydrates in your mouth allows bacteria to ferment it and produce acid, which can destroy your tooth enamel and put you at risk for decay.
However, young adults have a lot to gain from visiting our Branford, CT office regularly. We can check for signs of problems and fix them early, which can save thousands of dollars and, ultimately, your teeth. These are some examples of what Drs. Hacker, Finnegan, Ruiz and our hygiene team can do for you.
