Preventative Dentistry
Prevention starts at home
A regular oral hygiene routine is imperative if you want to maintain a healthy, bright smile and prevent recurrent, costly dental treatment in the future.
The goal of your oral hygiene routine is the regular removal of the sticky film of bacteria called plaque from your teeth. Plaque is the enemy.
Brushing
REMEMBER: Only brush the teeth you want to keep!
Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day are the golden rules for good dental health. Regardless of your age, always use a soft brush with a small head. Hard brushes can destroy your teeth. You should also replace your toothbrush every 3 months; if it is looking worn in less than 3-months, then your technique may need correcting – which we can help with at your next check-up. Remember to always brush your gums as well as your teeth
