Making Brushing a Bit Easier
Now that it’s officially summer, I find that I start to see a different crowd of patients in my practice. Do you notice this as well? With school being out for a few months, my schedule is definitely getting more and more full with pediatric patients and especially teenagers. It’s always great to have a switch up in the schedule and see this younger population again, but what can we do as providers to help them? Being a teen is busy with many extracurriculars, friends, family, school, all the things. We are lucky to be in a healthcare environment to meet these patients where they are at, help support them in their life changes, and be a source of information about their health and oral health in a world full of lots of information.
So, what are some things we can help support these patients with? First, giving them great tools to use at home to decrease bacteria is key. Research shows that most patients only brush for 30 seconds-1 minute and with a manual toothbrush, and usually that time frame and technique isn’t cutting it. Unfortunately, due to this patient population's change in hormones, leaving biofilm puts patients at a high risk for inflammation and disease. Let’s support them with great products, like the SAMBA Toothbrush from Curaden US.
A few great features your patients will love:
A soft U shape to allow for different sizes and shapes of mouths
This brush is completely waterproof, allowing your patients to use it in the shower if they would like. It also lasts 25 days with 1 charge.
12,900 soft bristles allow for better access in hard to reach areas of the mouth.
We love this brush for teenagers to help keep their oral health with their busy schedules. To learn more about the brush check out our latest video:
