Star Brushers

Our patients are given a grade each time they come in for a hygiene appointment. The grade is based upon the efficiency of their brushing and the health of the teeth and gums.

#1 Brusher
No visible plaque. Gums are pink and healthy. There is no bleeding with flossing.

#2 Brusher
A small amount of plaque. Only slight inflammation of the gums.

#3 Brusher
Fair brushing. Several areas of bleeding. Visible thick plaque.

#4 Brusher
Below average brushing. Generalized thick plaque, food, and inflammation.

#5 Brusher
Gross. Get some help. Use a timer. Come in for more frequent recall appointments.
