Keeping healthy teeth and Gums is the goal of Lake Chaparral Dental Care Calgary, AB says, Dr. Palka Sharma. In this video, she explains the importance of having a dental cleaning at least once in six months.

Keeping teeth and gums healthy is our goal at Lake Chaparral Dental Care.

In order to maintain good oral health, it’s important to have dental cleaning with your dental hygienist at least every six months or less as directed by your dental hygienist and dentist.

Not only you do get a thorough cleaning but also have fluoride applied topically to your teeth which get taken up by your teeth and aid in decade or cavity resistance.

Home care of brushing two times a day for two minutes each time with the fluoride toothpaste, and an electric or manual toothbrush as well as flossing and using a waterpik one time a day is imperative.

If you find you are prone to cavities or other related dental issues talk to your dental hygienist or dentist about products that can help, make teeth more cavity resistant as well as rinses that can aid in oral gum and tissue health.
