It has been long time knowledge that you should brush twice a day and floss once a day. Flossing is important to remove plaque and bacteria from the teeth and gums that can lead to bigger problems if left there long term. These problems include tartar build up, gum disease, tooth decay, and even heart disease.

While research shows that there is little difference in the results some people prefer using a water flosser to normal flossing. It is entirely up to the flosser to decided which flossing method works the best for them, but water piking may be a simple solution for those that have trouble reaching certain spots or who simply do not enjoy traditional flossing.

Water flossing can remove food and bacteria from those hard to reach places that do not get cleaned up by the toothbrush. They help remove these particles to keep the gums healthy and strong, reducing bleeding and the risk of gum disease.

While it can be messy if you are not prepared, water flossing is a rather quick and easy process. Fill the basin with warm water, place the tip in your mouth and close your mouth, turn the flosser on. Move the tip along the gumline tooth to tooth at a 90 degree angle to remove plaque, food, and bacteria.

I am extremely petrified of dentists. Dr Badie was so patient with me, even when I was being a very hard patient. He gave me something to help with my anxiety. I had 8 teeth pulled at once. No pain whatsoever. Even the next day. No swelling, no pain. Even though I will still be scared every appointment, I know he can be trusted to be patient and gentle every step of the way.

Today I went in for my first check up.The whole staff was amazing. Dentist Badie really does care. He took his time with me to develop a plan with my teeth. I felt such a relief when he said that my teeth can be saved. Now myself I do not have insurance but the way they broke everything down made it super affordable for me. This place Is definitely worth it.
