Home Care
Nothing is more important for your periodontal health than maintaining proper oral hygiene habits. This should include a soft bristled brush and some type of cleaning aid for between the teeth. The brush should be angled at 45 degrees between the tooth and the gum. It is important to clean and massage the gums as well as the teeth. Either dental floss or a proxabrush can be used to clean between teeth.
Many people would benefit from an electric toothbrush. Several different manufacturers offer excellent products. Dr. Wiland recommends either the Sonicare toothbrush or the Braun Oral-B. Both brushes have sonic vibrations that help reduce unsightly staining and are more effective at removing plaque than a manual brush. Dental floss or another type of cleaning for between the teeth is still required. Ask about the special pricing that is available through Dr. Wiland's office.
