Learning proper techniques for brushing, flossing, and overall oral care can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Avery Dental Center is dedicated to empowering patients with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain excellent oral hygiene and achieve lasting oral health.

What Is Dental Hygiene Instruction and Education?



Dental hygiene instruction and education involve personalized guidance from a dental professional to help patients care for their teeth and gums effectively. During these sessions, Dr. Safavian will demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques, recommend oral care products, and provide tips for maintaining good oral hygiene.

This education is tailored to each patient's specific needs. Whether addressing the challenges of a child learning to brush, an adult managing gum sensitivity, or someone with braces or dental implants, we customize the advice to ensure effective care.

Why Is Dental Hygiene Education Important?



Proper dental hygiene is the foundation of a healthy smile. Education helps patients understand the importance of daily care and the techniques to perform it effectively. Benefits of dental hygiene instruction include:
•  Prevention of cavities and gum disease
•  Improved oral health and overall well-being
•  Reduced risk of bad breath and staining
•  Enhanced confidence in oral care practices
•  Long-term savings by avoiding extensive dental treatments


Understanding how to care for your teeth empowers you to take control of your oral health and maintain a bright, healthy smile.

What Does Dental Hygiene Instruction Include?



Dental hygiene instruction covers a range of topics to help patients maintain optimal oral health. Key areas include:
•  Brushing techniques to clean teeth thoroughly
•  Proper flossing methods to remove plaque between teeth
•  Recommendations for toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouth rinses
•  Advice on managing dietary habits to support oral health
•  Tips for maintaining oral hygiene with braces, implants, or dentures


These instructions are designed to address individual needs, ensuring patients receive the most relevant and helpful information.

The Role of Regular Dental Visits



Education on dental hygiene is complemented by regular dental check-ups and cleanings. During these visits, Dr. Safavian can:
•  Assess your oral health and identify areas for improvement.
•  Provide professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
•  Reinforce hygiene education to help you maintain progress.


Regular visits allow for early detection of potential issues and ensure that your hygiene practices are effective.
