Your Mouth is the
Gateway to Your Body

It’s true. Your smile’s health is directly correlated to your overall health. Several chronic illnesses (heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and so many more) are linked to poor dental hygiene and oral health.

By visiting Dr. Wyman Chen consistently for your comprehensive exams and cleanings, you’re setting yourself up to achieve optimal oral health.

How Can You Keep Your Smile Healthy?

Keeping your smile healthy is a team effort – we cannot do it alone! Half the battle is making sure you practice consistent hygiene practices at home. Check out our advice on the proper brushing and flossing techniques.

How often should I visit the dentist?

For most people, visiting their dentist twice a year is enough.

People with minimal risk of gum disease or cavities can maintain their oral health by seeing their dentist only once a year.

If you have a high risk of dental disease, you may need more frequent visits, like every three or four months or more. Who falls into this high-risk group?

People who smoke
Pregnant women
People diagnosed with Diabetes
People currently having gum disease
People susceptible to bacterial infection due to a weakened immune response
People who frequently get cavities or build up higher levels of plaque

How many times should I brush and floss daily?

At a minimum, brush your teeth twice a day (for 2 minutes) and floss at least once a day. If you’re a frequent eater, we recommend you brush and floss more than the minimum to ensure you get rid of food debris and limit your exposure to harmful bacteria.

How to properly brush your teeth

Get the most out of your brushing in these easy six steps:

Use only a small amount of toothpaste on a soft-bristled toothbrush
Tilt your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums
Brush the inner and outer surfaces with a gentle, circular motion
Brush your molars with a back-and-forth motion
Be sure to repeat steps 3 and 4 for two minutes
After those two minutes, brush your tongue to get rid of any remaining bacteria and keep your mouth fresh

How to properly floss your teeth

Become a flossing pro just by following these simple steps:

Use about 18 inches of floss and wrap both ends around your middle fingers
Pinch the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers and gently insert the floss between the teeth
When the floss reaches your gumline, curve the floss in a “C shape” against the side of the tooth
Gently rub the floss up and down the tooth. Repeat the process for each side of every tooth
