Do not put too much toothpaste on the brush. It will foam up and make you want to spit and rinse too soon. Studies show that once people get to the spit and rinse stage they stop brushing even though some teeth have not been brushed. Also, do not wet your brush before applying the paste or before starting to brush. It alters the action of the bristles and prevents them removing plaque effectively.
Useful Dentistry Tip
For those who have a fear of the dental chair in general, sedation is available. Dr. Lais is one of the few dentists in the state of AR who is licensed to provide I.V. sedation, which is the safest way to sedate a patient.
