Oral hygiene

The best way to keep your teeth for life is to care for them on a daily basis. It starts at home with cleaning twice a day with a tooth brush, dental floss and additional appliances or rinses as recommended by Dr. Kaufman.

Depending on the individual risk of each patient we advise to have the teeth examined by the every 3-12 months. When Dr. Kaufman examines your mouth, he checks your cheeks, tongue, lips, palate, joint and teeth and demonstrates the areas of concern.

Our philosophy is that you are in control of your oral health and we are here to support you in your choices and point out the advantages and disadvantages of proposed treatments. Choosing to leave teeth with decay or gum disease untreated may lead to more expensive and complicated treatment in the future.
