Relieve Sore Teeth & Prevent Cavities

 We have found the following tips really help sore teeth to feel better and also prevent cavities.  Please try to follow these recommendations!

 

 2 STEP BRUSHING :

Step 1:   MASSAGE GUMS - Do not apply toothpaste!  Brush the gums only for a minute or two with a dry toothbrush.  You should feel the bristles pass over your gum tissues.  Focus on massaging the gums because swollen gums are the main cause of soreness.

Step 2.  CLEAN TEETH - Brush teeth 3 times a day (especially after meals).  Use a waterpick once a day (after dinner) to reduce plaque and gingivitis.

  

Rinse with Phos-Flur (a highly concentrated fluoride), twice a week to help avoid cavities.

Visit your family dentist regularly for cleanings.  Many dentist recomment a cleaning every 4 months, while wearing braces and fluoride treatments every 6 months.
