Flossing
Flossing is an integral part of the tooth-cleaning process. It removes damaging plaque from between teeth and at the gumline, where periodontal (gum) disease usually begins to develop.

Brushing
Proper brushing is necessary for cleaning teeth and gums effectively. Try to use a toothbrush that has a soft, nylon toothbrush that will not scratch and irritate teeth or damage gums. You can get a FREE toothbrush with your checkup at Carlos Chong D.D.S.

Dentures
Ask your dentist for advice regarding how often you should visit. Regular dental checkups with Carlos Chong D.D.S. are always important.

Senior Dental Health
You can keep your smile healthy by practicing a regular routine of proper oral care and regular visits to your dentist.

Children's Teeth
The best way to ensure that your child doesn't fall prey to cavities or gingivitis is to teach proper oral habits early on, between 3 and 4 years of age when most children have their primary teeth or as soon as there is a suspicion of any dental problem.
