Cosmetic Dentist in Franklin Square Offers Helpful Tips for Improved Dental Health

    FRANKLIN SQUARE, NY, December 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Premier cosmetic dentist in Franklin Square, Dr. Michele Harutunian, encourages patients to visit her practice's website for helpful tips for improved dental health. Dr. Harutunian utilizes her practice website in order to better inform patients of the importance of maintaining simple dental care habits, such as brushing and flossing.

"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 I am pleased to offer my patients valuable dental health care information in our office and through our website," said Dr. Michele Harutunian, Franklin Square cosmetic dentist.

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. Harutunian, dentist in Franklin Square, NY, 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.

"While brushing, it is important to hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and brush with short back-and-forth motions. Remember to brush the inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue. Also, avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums," said Dr. Michele Harutunian, Franklin Square, NY dentist.

Additionally, Dr. Harutunian urges patients to take-up proper flossing techniques for optimal oral health. She 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. Michele Harutunian, family dentist in Franklin Square, 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, Dr. Harutunian encourages patients to schedule regular dental cleanings and exams - generally once or twice a year. In-between regular examinations, Dr. Harutunian, Franklin Square family dentist, also urges patients to contact her 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.
