Oral Hygiene

Good oral hygiene takes place at home, at school and in your work place. It is literally the first line of defense against oral bacteria and tooth decay. With oral hygiene, your regular dental visits are little more than examinations and routine cleanings. Without oral hygiene, the passage of six months can mean terrible complications and a string of required procedures.

Dentistry is an unusual profession, because its dentists encourage patients to practice habits that prevent more expensive procedures. With proper brushing, flossing and dental hygiene, you limit your visits to twice a year. Without consistent hygiene, we guarantee that you will need to see us more often! Ignore your oral hygiene or avoid your dentist completely and devastating tooth ache will eventually drive you to the Yuba City Dentistry Group. Avoid this unhappy situation and keep your visits pleasant by following the advice you find in this section of our website.

I’m always extremely nervous about going to the dentist’s, but everyone there was very sensitive and understanding of that. I’m 62, so when an old crown broke off my very back tooth, it needed to be extracted. I was really scared! My husband dragged me to the appointment and, besides some minor discomfort, the procedure went very well. Like I said, I was treated like gold by all the staff, techs, and the dentist. I went to my follow-up appointment yesterday and, thankfully, my mouth is healing fine. This experience even encouraged me to book an exam and cleaning, which I am ashamed to admit I have been avoiding due to my phobia. Thank you Yuba City Dentistry Group!
