Spring Cleaning at Medical Center Dental Care


It’s that time of the year again: spring! While many people enjoy cleaning out and decluttering their homes during this time of the year, we at Medical Center Dental Care believe this is a fine time to take charge of your oral health!
  • First off, toss out your old toothbrush and start anew. As a general rule, our Calabasas dental office advises its patients to replace their toothbrushes about every three months. Make sure that the bristles are not too firm, as they can cause abrasion and recession of the gumline. If you’re not sure what kind of toothbrush is best for you, then book an appointment with us and your dentist can answer all of your questions. 
  • Next, are you happy with your smile’s appearance? Medical Center Dental Care is also a West Hills orthodontics office that provides free (no out of pocket costs) orthodontic consultation to both adults and children looking for a straighter smile. So if braces are something you’ve been considering for some time, remember, it’s never too late to correct uneven teeth.

  • Finally, are you staying on top of your oral care hygiene routines? If you haven’t been flossing regularly, this might be a good time to spring into a better wellness routine. If dental floss is too cumbersome to use, consider buying floss picks from your local drug store. Believe us – when our patients actually start flossing regularly, we definitely notice!
If you’re looking for a family friendly dentist in West Hills CA, then look no further! Give our office a call to set up an appointment.
