PREVENTITIVE CARE
KEEPING TEETH CLEAN AND WHITE
The formation of plaque, a colorless layer of bacteria that builds up on teeth, accelerates as we grow older. In addition, older fillings may weaken and crack, allowing plaque to accumulate around the edges of fillings, making it harder to keep them clean and leading to increased decay. Also, teeth may darken in color due to changes that normally occur with aging.

SOLUTION:

• Soft toothbrush
• Toothpaste for Sensitivity
• Flossing, if possible or Interdental Brush
• Fluoride rinse especially with dry mouth
• Saliva substitute for chronic dry mouth

Regular preventive visits will help you keep your teeth clean and keep your fillings in good repair. Additionally, if you have healthy tooth structure, your dentist may suggest bleaching as a method for restoring a whiter, more youthful
