LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An October 17 article in NBC4 Washington discusses the current public debate about the use of fluoride in drinking water, a bone of contention for decades, despite a strong scientific consensus built up over many decades in favor of fluoride. Los Angeles based dental clinic Medical Center Dental Care says that. While the fluoridation of water will likely continue to be controversial in certain quarters for the foreseeable future, the best way to ensure healthy teeth and gums is still through regular brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride, along with flossing and regular teeth cleaning and dental exams.

Medical Center Dental Care goes on to note that these habits can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and other health issues down the road that may otherwise be costly and painful and, at their worst, can do serious damage to a person's overall health, as well as their teeth and gums. In addition to brushing, flossing and regular teeth cleaning at the dentist's office, individuals can reduce the risk of cavities and other more serious issues by reducing the amount of sugary foods and drinks consumed on a daily basis. The dental center notes that by making a conscious effort to reduce the daily intake of sugary and sweet/sticky foods and drinks, patients have a higher probability of avoiding painful dental health issues throughout their lives.

The clinic adds that while it's important to take action to ensure outstanding oral health, patients who nevertheless find themselves with such issues as tooth sensitivity, pain, or bleeding gums can rely on experienced dental professionals to take care of any ongoing oral health issues right away. Medical Center Dental Care goes on to note that whether a patient needs a root canal or dental implants, today's dental technology and practices can help individuals regain an attractive and healthy smile, even if a mouth has been seriously compromised by tooth decay or trauma.

With the help of good daily oral hygiene habits and routine dental visits, people of all ages can be well on their way to maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives.
