    Absolutely amazing experience here. I am terrified of the dentist, and they made me feel at ease the second I set foot in the office. Will definitely be going back.

    Eric Levin

    I recently moved here and was referred to this practice with raving reviews. By far, this is the best dental care I have ever received. Professional, attentive, courteous and not to mention extremely gentle with an exceptional friendly staff that made me feel comfortable and at ease. With out a doubt, I highly recommend Rumson Family Dental where you will receive the utmost quality one on one care for all your dental needs.

ORAL HYGIENE

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T BRUSH?

Almost everyone has heard their parents say "Brush your teeth!" But why is it so important?

Good oral hygiene prevents tooth decay and gum disease - this is why dentists recommend you brush twice and floss once daily. Otherwise, you will most likely suffer from a gum condition know as Gingivitis.

Gingivitis happens when...

  • Naturally ooccuring bacteria in our mouths secrete waste, know as plaque.
  • Plaque is not only sticky (inviting more plaque to form), but also keeps healthy tissues from regenerating.
  • Without proper brushing, plaque will harden and turn into tartar.
  • Tartar harbors even more bacteria and waste products, accelerating the breakdown of gum tissue.
  • While you can brush plaque away, tartar can only be removed by your dentist.
  • Periodontal disease comes after gingivitis, which leads to severe breakdown of the gums and destruction of the supportive jaw bones.

Maintain your oral hygiene daily and visit your dentist twice a year to have your mouth examined as well as any plaque and tarter removed.
