Maintaining healthy smiles for life
We all need to visit the dentist regularly. Attending a dental check up on a regular basis avoids any nasty surprises and allows us to treat any potential problems quickly and efficiently, keeping you in excellent dental health.
Achieving healthy teeth and gums is fundamental for patients of all ages. It is never too early or too late to begin caring for your teeth. At Wentwood House Dental Practice our aim is to bring your mouth into its optimal healthy state and work with you to maintain this condition for the rest of your life.
Preventative care is vitally important to your overall dental health. Sticking to your maintenance regime will keep your smile fresh, your teeth healthy and your wellbeing as good as it can be. Our top preventative tips which can help keep your teeth and gums healthy include;
- Use a soft toothbrush with rounded bristles
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
- Brush twice daily for two minutes
- Do not rinse mouth with water after brushing
- Use interdental brushes daily
- Use toothpaste with fluoride
- Floss once daily
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sugar
- Rinse mouth with water after sugar intake
- Endurance athletes should avoid sugary energy drinks, which exposes the teeth to sugar for prolonged periods – hydrate with water or sugar free isotonic drinks
