Often we google "Dentist Near Me" and hope for the best. If you're in Madera, CA, no need to search for whom to look for. Dr. Ahmed Elsayed of Madera Family Dental Care is here for you. He provides several services, including a proper knowledge base for patients who need better at-home oral care.
Why would you need more information about at-home oral care?
Proper oral care can save you from having to do that Dentist-Near-Me search. Why? Well, think about it. If you take proper care of your teeth, all you'll really need is a biannual visit to Dr. Elsayed for regular teeth cleaning or checkup.
So, how exactly do you care for your teeth at home?
- Brush twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, to remove food debris that accumulates and produces bacteria that deteriorates tooth enamel. Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and using fluoride-containing toothpaste protects teeth against cavities.
- Flossing at least once before bed also helps maintain oral health. Flossing around teeth removes food to prevent bacteria from breaking down tooth enamel between teeth and causing cavities.
- Drink plenty of water. Yes, it may seem only necessary for nutritional and dietary reasons but that's what a lot of people don't realize. Dental health is important in helping you maintain a healthy diet and proper nutrition maintains healthy tooth structure/health. Drinking water washes away food debris and keeps teeth clean but you'll still need to brush and floss.
- People ignore mouthwash but it's just as important. Your Madera dentist recommends mouthwash. This oral rinse is an antiseptic that kills harmful bacteria flossing and brushing can't reach between your teeth and on your tongue. Mouthwash also helps fight against bad breath and tooth decay.
