Some of the benefits of electronic toothbrushes include:
- Better plaque removal
- Less toothbrush abrasion
- Timer to ensure brushing for full two minutes
- Better for people with mobility issues
Overall, using an electronic toothbrush can potentially lead to better oral health and a brighter smile!
Seeing your dentist for regular cleanings is about more than just a brighter smile—it’s a vital part of maintaining your overall health. During a professional cleaning, your dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach. This helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. But the benefits go far beyond your mouth.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joints that connect your jaw to your skull, often causing jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, and difficulty chewing. These symptoms can stem from teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, arthritis, or jaw misalignment.
