What comes to mind when you hear the term “healthy living?” A dinner plate with a grilled chicken breast and carrot sticks? The sound of your feet rhythmically hitting the ground on your favorite jogging trail? A cholesterol test indicating that your arteries are in great shape? If you pictured a white, healthy smile or a dental X-ray showing no dental caries, we salute you.
Practicing Healthy Living at Home
At Marcos Ortega DDS, we urge everyone with a smile to include oral health in their definition of “healthy living.” When done correctly and consistently, brushing and flossing are an integral component of everyday oral hygiene. Brushing should be done at least twice a day. We recommend a soft-bristled toothbrush to protect your gums. Brush your teeth in small, circular motions for 2-3 minutes and be sure you reach all the surfaces.
Importance of Dental Hygiene
Flossing should be done once a day and is needed for reaching the areas where a toothbrush cannot. A wide variety of floss can be found at San Diego stores, so experiment until you find one you like. At Marcos Ortega DDS, we provide our patients with quality general dentistry in Mission Hills. As a healthcare provider, we are committed to helping each of our patients experience oral health and avoid dental problems that can compromise their all-around health.
