Brush and Floss Right to Prevent Plaque
Brushing and flossing stop plaque and tartar building up on your teeth. Brush and floss after every meal. Be sure to brush and floss right by following these tips.
- Use a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Ask your dentist if you should use an electric toothbrush.
- Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your gum line. This lets the bristles reach under the gums. Gently brush all surfaces of your teeth with a circular motion.
- Scrub the chewing surfaces.
- Clean the inside of the upper and lower front teeth using the bristles at the tip of the toothbrush.
- Brush your tongue to clear away food and bacteria. Then rinse well.

Flossing Will Keep Your Gums and Teeth Healthy
- Ask your dentist to recommend the type of dental floss that's best for you.
- Wrap 12 to 14 inches of floss around your middle fingers. Hold it tight between you thumb and index finger. Or, use a floss holder.
- Ease the floss between your teeth. Rub up and down against the sides of each tooth.
- Floss gently under your gum line where plaque tends to collect.
Hygiene - Where Dental Health Begins
At Sun Dental, we recommend regular dental checkups, at least once every six months for most patients. We also offer advanced dental surgery procedures. Contact us for more information.

Dental Checkups for Children
Children's appointments usually begin when your child is approximately two-and-a-half years old. Whether it is your child's first visit, or he or she has had previous dental experiences, we make sure the visit is fun and stress-free. Children's visits feature the same procedures as adults, but also include:
- Counting teeth
- Applying topical fluoride to teeth
In some cases, the application of sealants, protective coatings over newly formed adult teeth may be recommended by your hygienist or dentist to protect your child's teeth against cavities better. Call us for more information.
