The Right Toothbrush For Your

Do we always put alot of thought into choosing what kind of toothbrush we use. Well, as a general rule, I would have to say no. Most people are mainly interested in the color of toothbrush they purchase. Many family's have a system where every member has a color that has somehow been assigned to them. This way no one uses the wrong toothbrush. This is great, but when picking out our toothbrush, we need to start thinking about what we are getting it for. The job of a toothbrush is to reach and clean most areas of the teeth. The bristles of a toothbrush are very important when deciding on which one is the best for you. Soft bristled toothbrushes should be chosen as opposed to hard bristles which tend to cause gingival recession. Soft bristles are just more flexible and clean beneath the gingival margin without causing damage to your gums. We should also notice the size of the head of the toothbrush. The head should be small enough to get to the hard to reach areas of the teeth. We should replace our toothbrush every 3 months or when the bristles start to wear. You should also change your toothbrush after a cold, flu, sore throat, or mouth infection. Maybe this information will help you and the health of your mouth the next time you purchase a toothbrush.

New Patient Experience

Here at Suwanee Dental Care, we try to make your dental experience one like no other. We begin a new patient appointment by giving a tour of the office. It is very nice and comforting to see where you are going to be taken care of. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions about the facility if you have any. After the tour, the doctor and the dental assistant talk with the patient to get to know about each other. The main concerns of the patient are also addressed at this time. This time spent with the patient seems to give them a since of comfort instead of just going straight to the dental chair and beginning the exam. We want to make our patients feel as comfortable as they can be. After meeting with the doctor, then we begin a very thorough evaluation of the patients teeth and oral health. The next appointment our patients typically have is with our treatment coordinator. This is when the patient will go over the treatment proposal that the doctor has put together for him/her. The patient is given the opportunity to decide what to do on the treatment plan and when it is best for their schedule. We would love to make Suwanee Dental Care your new dental home.

The Velo Project

The Velo Project starts in May. Join us on our blogs and Andy Velo blogs for up to date and continuous progress reports as we completely make over Andy's face. This budding country music star, movie idol, and sports hero of North Gwinnett High School and now the college campuses of Georgia and the surrounding states, will be doing a total cosmetic makeover in the next year. Watch the stages unfold and the progress here and in other social media (facebook, myspace, suwaneedental.Com, etc). We will unveil some of the secrets of dentistry and some of the mysteries of moving teeth through bone, lasers and how they cut bone and tooth and gums, simple wisdom teeth impaction techniques, dental "chill with the pill" sedation and more and more.

The Velo Project will be especially meaningful to teens...log in weekly.

Before
