Good Oral Hygiene Techniques

The maintenance of good oral hygiene techniques is essential throughout life and is crucial in attaining general well-being. At the office of Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang, we acknowledge the importance of good oral hygiene habits and are committed to educating our patients on maximizing their oral well-being. Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang want patients to look and feel their best! Good oral hygiene techniques will help you keep your natural teeth for life and give you something to smile about.

Good oral hygiene techniques provide the basis for lifelong oral and general well-being. By carrying out an appropriate daily routine, your teeth and gums will feel vibrant and fresh. Through the application of good oral hygiene techniques, it is possible to:

• Prevent tooth decay
• Prevent Periodontal Disease
• Maintain fresh breath
• Maintain your natural teeth for life

It has been clinically proven that inadequate oral health can prove detrimental to your general well-being. The main cause behind tooth decay and Periodontal Disease is plaque. Plaque is a colorless bacterial film which constantly forms on teeth. If plaque is not cleaned away, it will continue to build up on teeth and eventually lead to not only oral problems, but dental plaque can also increase your risk of heart disease or stroke . Dental plaque has been found to migrate into the blood stream and promote blockages of blood vessels, leading to heart disease and stroke. In the mouth, plaque buildup can lead to Periodontal Disease, the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. Yet, both Periodontal Disease and tooth decay can easily be prevented if good Oral Hygiene techniques are established.

In our office, oral hygiene techniques always have a strong focus. Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang are motivated to care for your oral health and work with patients, as a team, to achieve general well-being. It is essential that all members of your family are educated in good oral hygiene techniques. Speak with Dr. Ganji or Dr. Yang at your next consultation regarding your oral well-being and steps you may take to improve your health.
