HYGIENE:
|
All patients need to brush before they are seen by Dr. Bright and his team. Please keep in mind there is a big difference between brushing your teeth and brushing your teeth properly. This requires both a consistant and dilligent effort from the patient. In order to (maintain) healthy teeth and gums and satisfactorial oral hygiene, Dr. Bright insists that all patients remember to floss regularly and spend at least five (5) consecutive minutes each time they brush. Also, if the patient is here after lunch when the cookies are out, please grab a cookie and put it aside or give it to Mom or Dad to hold for you. The cooikies and drinks are a treat for you after your appointment.
