Maintaining excellent oral health starts with proper daily care techniques. At Park Smiles in Edison, NJ, we believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and skills needed to keep their teeth and gums healthy between dental visits. Our comprehensive dental hygiene education helps you master the fundamentals of oral care while avoiding common mistakes that can lead to dental problems.
Park Smiles takes pride in providing thorough, hands-on education to every patient. Our experienced dental hygienists in Edison dedicate time during each visit to ensure you’re using the most effective techniques for your specific oral health needs. We demonstrate proper methods, watch you practice, and provide personalized tips to help you achieve optimal results at home.
Many patients are surprised to learn they’ve been brushing incorrectly for years. At Park Smiles, we teach the proper brushing technique that effectively removes plaque without damaging your teeth or gums. Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum line, using gentle circular motions rather than aggressive back-and-forth scrubbing. Each brushing session should last at least two minutes, spending 30 seconds on each quadrant of your mouth.
We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush that you replace every three months or when bristles begin to fray. Electric toothbrushes can be excellent tools, and we’ll show you how to use them properly – let the brush do the work rather than pressing hard. Remember to brush your tongue gently to remove bacteria and freshen breath. Our hygienists will demonstrate these techniques during your visit and help you perfect your form.

Flossing remains one of the most important yet often neglected aspects of oral hygiene. At Park Smiles, we teach patients the correct flossing technique that cleans between teeth without injuring gums. Start with about 18 inches of floss, winding most around your middle fingers and leaving 1-2 inches to work with. Guide the floss between teeth using a gentle rubbing motion, never snapping it into the gums.
Once the floss reaches your gum line, curve it into a C-shape against one tooth and gently slide it into the space between the gum and tooth. Move the floss up and down several times to remove plaque, then repeat on the adjacent tooth. We’ll show you alternatives like floss picks or water flossers if traditional flossing is challenging for you. Our team ensures you leave knowing exactly how to clean every space between your teeth effectively.
The overwhelming variety of dental products available can make selection confusing. At Park Smiles, we educate patients on choosing products that best suit their individual needs. For toothpaste, we generally recommend fluoride-containing options unless specific conditions require alternatives. Patients with sensitivity benefit from desensitizing toothpastes, while those prone to tartar buildup may need tartar-control formulas.
Mouthwash selection depends on your specific oral health goals. Antiseptic rinses help control bacteria, while fluoride rinses strengthen enamel. We’ll explain which type benefits your situation most and how to use it properly – most rinses work best when used after brushing and flossing, swished for 30-60 seconds. Our recommendations are always personalized based on your oral health assessment.
What you eat significantly impacts your dental health, and we provide comprehensive nutritional guidance at Park Smiles. Frequent snacking on sugary or acidic foods creates an environment where harmful bacteria thrive. We teach patients about hidden sugars in common foods and beverages, and how timing of consumption affects cavity risk.
We educate about tooth-friendly foods that actually help protect your smile. Crunchy vegetables stimulate saliva production, cheese helps neutralize acids, and foods high in calcium strengthen teeth. We’ll discuss how to enjoy treats responsibly – eating sweets with meals rather than alone, rinsing with water afterward, and waiting at least 30 minutes after consuming acidic foods before brushing to avoid enamel damage.
At Park Smiles, we tailor our hygiene education to different life stages and conditions. For parents, we demonstrate how to clean babies’ gums and first teeth, progressing to teaching children proper techniques through fun, age-appropriate methods. We show pregnant patients how hormonal changes affect oral health and provide safe cleaning strategies during this important time.
Older adults receive guidance on maintaining oral health with arthritis or dexterity challenges, including adaptive tools and techniques. Patients with braces learn specialized cleaning methods around brackets and wires. Those with dental implants or bridges receive specific instructions for maintaining these restorations. Our education evolves with your changing needs throughout life.
We teach patients to identify early warning signs of dental problems between visits. Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing often indicate gingivitis, which proper technique can reverse. We show you how to check for signs of teeth grinding, acid erosion, and developing cavities. Understanding these signs empowers you to seek treatment before problems worsen.
Our prevention education includes strategies for avoiding common issues. We demonstrate how to clean your tongue properly to prevent bad breath, techniques for reducing tooth sensitivity, and methods to minimize staining from coffee or tea. You’ll learn about dry mouth management and how certain medications affect oral health, allowing you to take proactive steps.
At Park Smiles, we work with each patient to develop a customized daily oral care routine that fits their lifestyle and addresses their specific needs. We consider factors like your cavity risk, gum health status, and any existing dental work when designing your routine. Some patients benefit from additional steps like antiseptic rinses or specialized tools, while others need simplified routines that ensure consistency.
We provide written instructions summarizing your personalized routine, including product recommendations and technique reminders. Our team remains available between visits to answer questions about your home care routine or address concerns as they arise. Follow-up visits allow us to assess your progress and refine techniques as needed.
At Park Smiles Edison, our dental services are led by Dr. Krystle Kendall and a dedicated team with specialized training and a genuine passion for providing exceptional care to every patient. Our team combines advanced dental techniques with gentle approaches and clear communication strategies that make each visit a positive experience, regardless of the treatment needed.
What distinguishes our team is their commitment to excellence, compassion, and respect for each patient’s individual needs and comfort level. We understand that many patients have dental anxiety or past uncomfortable experiences, so we take time to listen to concerns, explain procedures thoroughly, and create a treatment plan that aligns with each patient’s goals and preferences. Our team adapts their approach based on individual needs—whether that means taking extra time, offering comfort options, or modifying techniques to ensure the best possible experience.
With our “one patient at a time” philosophy, we provide unhurried, focused attention that ensures quality care while maintaining patient comfort throughout every procedure.
