Regular Check-ups

A check-up  involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, which  will prevent minor problems from becoming major ones

Cleaning of the teeth

Regular cleaning of the teeth is important to prevent bad breath and gum disease. Hard deposits are removed with a scaler and the teeth are polished to remove remaining stains

This should be performed every 6 months

Dental X-Rays

An X-ray can give the dentist a good view of your jaw alignment, any decay between teeth as well as identifying any impacted teeth, abscesses, or cysts on the roots of your teeth.

10 Tips For Looking after your Smile

1. Brush and Floss your teeth at least twice daily. Brushing should take at least two minutes.
2. Use an electric toothbrush as the brush-head will do the hard work for you allowing you to concentrate on holding it in the correct position.
3. If you find flossing is difficult, a floss threader or holder might make a difference. See our tips on flossing to help you.
4. Change your Toothbrush every 3 months. For your toothbrush to be effective, ensure your bristles are not worn.
5. Use fluoridated toothpaste with the added ingredient Triclosan, because this has extra antibacterial properties. Colgate Total is a good one.
6. Avoid grazing on foods and sipping on drinks that are high in sugar and acid content, as these are two of the main causes of tooth decay.
7. Chew sugarless gum after eating as this increases your salivary flow. Your saliva is your body’s natural bacteria fighting mechanism and helps fight off decay producing acids. It contains minerals such as fluoride, calcium, and phosphate that help to reverse the damage done to the tooth enamel by plaque acids.
8. Staying hydrated will help keep your saliva levels high. Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, which dehydrate your body and lower the saliva’s protective functions.
9. Avoid smoking. Smoking increases the risk of gum disease or periodontitis.
10. Wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth when playing contact sports where there is a risk for contact with the head and jaws.
11. Visit your dentist and hygienist every 6 months for a Continuing Care visit to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
