Frequently Asked Questions
Oral hygiene counseling is a service provided by Briggs Family Dental to help you maintain optimal oral health between your regular dental check-ups. During your counseling session, our skilled hygienists and Dr. Briggs will assess your current oral hygiene habits, provide personalized advice, and demonstrate proper techniques for brushing, flossing, and using other dental tools. We’ll work with you to develop a customized home care routine that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.
Everyone can benefit from oral hygiene counseling, regardless of age or dental health status. Whether you’re looking to improve your brushing and flossing techniques, manage a specific dental condition, or simply maintain a healthy smile, our team at Briggs Family Dental is here to help. We provide guidance for patients of all ages, from young children learning to care for their teeth to older adults with more complex dental needs.
During your oral hygiene counseling session at Briggs Family Dental, we’ll cover a wide range of topics tailored to your specific needs. These may include:
The frequency of oral hygiene counseling sessions depends on your individual needs and dental health status. At Briggs Family Dental, we typically recommend that patients receive counseling at least once a year, usually during one of your regular dental check-ups. However, if you have a specific concern or are managing a dental condition, Dr. Briggs may suggest more frequent counseling sessions. We’ll work with you to determine the optimal schedule for your unique situation.
During your oral hygiene counseling session at Briggs Family Dental, you can expect a friendly, informative, and judgment-free experience. Our team will begin by assessing your current oral hygiene habits and any specific concerns you may have. We’ll then provide personalized recommendations, demonstrate proper techniques, and answer any questions you may have. You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of how to optimize your at-home dental care routine for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Yes, oral hygiene counseling can be an effective way to address bad breath (halitosis). During your session at Briggs Family Dental, our team will work with you to identify the underlying cause of your bad breath, which may include poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or certain foods and medications. We’ll provide tailored recommendations to help you manage the issue, such as improving your brushing and flossing habits, using a tongue scraper, or trying a therapeutic mouthwash.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential not only for your dental health but also for your overall well-being. Research has shown that poor oral health is linked to several systemic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. By attending oral hygiene counseling at Briggs Family Dental and implementing the recommended practices, you can reduce your risk of developing these health issues and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life.

If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, our team at Briggs Family Dental will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, which includes regular professional cleanings and targeted oral hygiene advice. We’ll teach you how to effectively remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums, recommend appropriate products, and monitor your progress to help you achieve and maintain optimal gum health.
