Midlothian Dentist Offers Helpful Tips for Improved Dental Health of Patients

    MIDLOTHIAN, VA, May 02, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Stephen Booth and Dr. Lynn Penterson Booth, Midlothian, VA dentists, and their associates at Penterson and Booth are happy to offer helpful dental health care tips for improved oral health. Through the practice's website, patients can gain useful dental information around the clock.

"It is important that our patients have numerous resources available at their every need to help them better understand their dental health care. Through our website and in-office education, we can provide our patients with the knowledge they need to make well-informed decisions regarding their oral health," said Dr. Penterson Booth, family dentist in Midlothian.

Sometimes even the simplest dental care habits can go overlooked, such as brushing and flossing. When it comes to brushing and flossing teeth, the right techniques can make the biggest difference. Oral health begins with clean teeth, and for this reason, Drs. Lynn Penterson Booth and Stephen Booth are pleased to offer their patients valuable dental health care information in the office and through the practice website.

According to the American Dental Association it is important for patients to brush their teeth at least twice a day. When patients brush, there shouldn't be a rush. Dr. Penterson Booth, Midlothian dentist, urges patients to take enough time to do a thorough job when brushing their teeth, as well as using a fluoride toothpaste with a soft-bristled tooth brush that fits their mouth comfortably.

Additionally, Dr. Stephen Booth urges patients to take-up proper flossing techniques for optimal oral health. He informs patients that they can't reach the tight spaces between teeth or under the gum line with just a toothbrush. When patients floss, they should take it one tooth at a time, using their thumbs and forefingers to gently pull the floss from the gum line to the top of the tooth to scrape off plaque. Dr. Booth cosmetic dentist in Midlothian, urges patients to floss at least once a day in addition to brushing twice a day, to maintain proper oral health.

In order to prevent gum disease and other oral health problems, patients are encouraged to schedule regular dental cleanings and exams - generally once or twice a year. In-between regular examinations, Dr. Booth, Midlothian, VA dentist, also urges patients to contact his office if patients notice any signs or symptoms that could suggest oral health problems such as: red, tender or swollen gums; gums that bleed when brushing or flossing; loose permanent teeth; changes in the way top and bottom teeth align with each other.

Whether patients are searching for Midlothian veneers, whiter teeth, dental implants, or other services, they turn to Drs. Robert Penterson, Stephen Booth and Lynn Penterson Booth of Penterson and Booth Family Dentistry for quality care they can trust.
