]]> It’s best to clean your smile with oral hygiene tools that are effective and clean. Unfortunately, your toothbrush can harbor many germs throughout the day. This is why it’s important to do everything you can to keep your toothbrush clean. If you don’t, you would be cleaning your smile with a dirty tool. To help you maintain a clean toothbrush, our dentist, Dr. Alexis Mai, is happy to give you some tips:

-Wash your hands with soap and warm water before and after you brush and floss your teeth.

-Rinse your toothbrush with warm water after brushing and then store the brush upright in an area where it can air dry.

-Don’t put a toothbrush cover over your toothbrush until your bristles are dry. However, it’s OK to use a cover that has ventilation. It’s important to avoid putting a closed cover over your toothbrush because it can create an environment that grows bacteria.

-Use a completely dry toothbrush each time you clean your smile.

-Don’t share your toothbrush with your family members, friends or anyone else.

-Always replace your toothbrush every three to four months (or after your toothbrush bristles have been worn down) and after you have been sick.

]]> Do you have a stubborn, unattractive tooth that takes the beauty away from your smile? If so, you might want to consider enhancing it so you can have the smile you deserve. Fortunately, dental veneers can get the job done. They are thin, porcelain, tooth-colored shells that cover your teeth and disguise their imperfections. They can help you have a more attractive smile.

Dental veneer treatment
Your dentist, Dr. Alexis Mai, will start treatment by numbing your tooth and possibly the surrounding gums. This will help you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Then, she will shave a section of the front surface of the tooth to make room for the dental veneer. If she doesn’t trim the tooth, the veneer will make the tooth look bulky. Next, she will make an impression of the tooth and will send it to a dental lab where technicians will carefully craft your personalized veneer. When it’s ready and sent to our office, your dentist will cement it over your tooth.

Dental veneer care
Caring for a dental veneer is simple and easy. All you need to do is care for it like your other teeth. Just make sure to brush twice a day, floss and rinse daily, and visit your dentist every six months for your checkup appointments.
