Your final tip this month for healthy brushing habits: Brush for a full 2 minutes!

Most people only brush for 45–70 seconds, which isn't enough to reach every surface. The spots you miss are where plaque loves to build up. If you lose track, set a timer.

Even better, use an electronic toothbrush with a built in timer.

Small changes make for healthier smiles. Your gums will thank you!

Remember the days of biting into a tray of cold, goopy putty and holding still while it set?

At Oak Harbor Family Dentistry, we use a digital intraoral scanner to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth in just minutes. A small handheld wand glides around your mouth and builds a detailed image right on the screen. No putty, no gagging, no waiting!

Better still, digital scans are more accurate than traditional impressions, which means better-fitting crowns & aligners. You can even see your own teeth on the monitor as we go.

Comfortable, fast, and precise. We love the difference technology makes!

Another tip for brushing safely and completely 🪥

Less pressure actually cleans better.

It sounds backwards, but pressing hard flattens the bristles and keeps them from sweeping plaque out from between your teeth.

A helpful trick: hold your toothbrush with just your fingertips. It's almost impossible to press too hard that way!

Struggling to get your child or toddler to brush their teeth this summer?

✨ Try teaching through play✨

Kids often learn through play, so use age-appropriate dental activities to help your kids learn about dental hygiene and encourage proper brushing- just like we do in the office!

Try this-
🧑‍🎨 Use a poster board to draw a smiling face with teeth.
🎨 Make the teeth yellow and allow the kids to paint the teeth white.
🗣️ Talk about the importance of cleaning teeth, so they stay white and healthy.

Thank you for your kind words, William! We're so glad you and your wife found your dental home with us.

Brushing your teeth seems simple but small habits make a big difference. This month we're sharing some tips about brushing. Save these or share with your family to start building healthy habits.

First up: Don't scrub!

Most of us have been scrubbing our whole lives and it's a tough habit to break. Aggressive scrubbing irritates your gums and can cause permanent damage.

Instead, use a short, soft back-and-forth motion and let the bristles do the work 😎
