A hard bristled brush is often used in cases with severe plaque and bacteria. These brushes can often scrap away at the enamel. Therefore, they should not be used to brush teeth that have dental sealants. They will cause the sealant to tear, chip and break.

Everytime I see it there, I tell myself that I am not leaving the bathroom till upon completing the task.

(The Power Of Habit 131) I also have an alarm set on my phone to help remind myself that I need to floss. I have found that visualizing a mental picture of me flossing has become a self reminder of that it needs to be done. Introducing assorted flavored flosses has become beneficial. I have tried plain and mint floss. However, I have become a fan of mint. The mint flavor puts a sense of a clean feeling, once upon completion. These techniques have become effective in their own

If this step is skipped it can lead to the formation of dental caries and gum disease, which can lead to worse things if they are not taken care of.

Introduction: In Canada, general dental health is not part Canada’s national system of health insurance (Medicare) (1) except for some dental surgical procedures that are performed at hospitals. Since Oral health does not come under the Health Act about ninety-five percent of the oral health care services are offered on a fee-for-service basis. Oral health care is under provincial or territorial jurisdiction like other health care services and publically financed dental care programs provide the remaining five percent of oral health care services (2). Thus, majority of Canadians receive oral health via privately owned dental clinics. Privately owned dental care gives these services providers control over dental service charges, types of available treatment for the patients and number of follow-up appointment for treatments or routine care. Service users pay for the dental expenses from their own pockets or utilize insurance coverage (1).
