Even people that brush regularly can still wear their teeth away. It is important to look carefully at your brushing technique, your <strong>toothbrush<\/strong> and your <strong>toothpaste<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salinasdental.com\/\">Blanco Circle Dental Care<\/a> wants all of our patients to take the best care of their teeth possible.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you\u2019re not brushing too hard. If your <strong>toothbrush<\/strong> bristles are looking frayed or bent after a short amount of time, it could be a sign that you\u2019re brushing too hard. Brushing too hard can wear the gum tissue away. \u00a0Also, make sure you\u2019re using the right kind of <strong>toothbrush<\/strong>. If the bristles are too hard or rough, you could actually be wearing the enamel off of your teeth when you think you\u2019re cleaning them.<\/p>\n<p>Selecting the right <strong>toothpaste<\/strong> is very important to ensure a healthy smile, and is something most people don\u2019t think a lot about. Not all <strong>toothpastes<\/strong> are created equal. Make sure it\u2019s not too abrasive, or you could be accidentally wearing away the surface of your teeth when you think you\u2019re cleaning them. Whitening toothpastes are often among the worst, as they may be \u2018whitening\u2019 your teeth by using abrasive materials to remove the top layer of your teeth. To get a copy of our list of different kinds of toothpaste and their abrasiveness, email us at <a href=\"mailto:drk@salinasdental.com\">drk@salinasdental.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is not enough to just brush your teeth. Make sure you\u2019re using the proper tools while doing so to ensure the continued health of your smile. Pay careful attention to your <strong>toothpaste<\/strong> selection, they are not all created equal. Call us to learn more and make sure you\u2019ve made the right choices for your smile.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Blanco Circle Dental Care, Dr. Gary Klugman and Dr. Christina Bianco <\/strong>provide quality general, cosmetic and sedation dentistry services.
