Take better care of your teeth in Addis Ababa

It is important to maintain your teeth for as long as you can. It is more important to take care of your oral hygiene if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment or have dentures.

Brushing your teeth is the easiest and most popular gesture. 

Brushing your teeth should be done at the least twice daily to prevent the spread of bacteria that can cause diseases like periodontitis and cavities. These microorganisms can nest in spaces between teeth and on the surfaces of teeth, mixing saliva and food debris.

This is known as "dental caries" or "tooth decay". Cavities are formed when the teeth become hollowed out. These tooth infections can become more severe if they aren't treated. They can lead to tooth loss, or even a dental abscess.

Other tools can be used to remove bacteria and plaque, including dental floss and a handheld plunger. Both can be used in places that are not accessible with a toothbrush. Regular visits with your dentist in Addis Ababa are recommended to monitor the progress of any disease and provide appropriate treatment such as scaling.

It is recommended that you visit your dentist at minimum once per year.
