We all want a great smile but many people fear the dentist or don't put in the effort. It's not hard. Promise. And Dr. Ryan Ulibarri of Ulibarri Family Dentistry can help simplify exactly what you need to do when you visit his office serving Northern Colorado, Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, Fort Collins, Windsor, and Cheyenne, CO, area.
Dentist Visits: Dental visits are code for regular checkups and even professional cleanings. So, what does that mean. When you visit Dr. Ulibarri, he will examine teeth and soft tissue for any abnormalities. This is essentially when he'll let you know if there's a minor decay requiring a filling or if a cavity has gone so far that you now need a root canal. Fortunately, the point of a dental visit is that he find these issues before they become too much of a problem. The professional cleaning is when a hygienist removes accumulated plaque and tartar that can't be removed by simply brushing, then polishes your teeth. The dental exam and cleaning are preventative measures to keep teeth healthy and necessary for a good oral care routine.
Brushing and Flossing: You didn't think we were going to forget this point, did you? Well, good, because many people do skip brushing and flossing. And unlike those email reminders to book a dentist visit, brushing and flossing seem to be left behind. You have to brush at least twice a day. If you can get a third brushing in, that would be ideal. Use toothpaste containing fluoride because it protects teeth against cavities. Flossing at least twice a day is also very important. It eliminates food debris between teeth. Floss under gums as well and ask your dentist who serves these areas if you're not sure how exactly to do it: Northern Colorado, Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, Fort Collins, Windsor and Cheyenne. Here's a website that can help. There's nothing embarrassing about looking it up or asking. Many people don't know how to brush and floss properly, which is detrimental to your oral care.
