Dental Care & Advice

Good Dental Health
To keep emergency visits to the dentist at a minimum, it is essential to stay on top of your dental care routine, be well-informed and maintain a good relationship with your dentist. 

Here’s few tips as to how you and your children can have healthy teeth and keep trips to the dentist to a minimum.

 Brush your teeth twice a day
Brush your teeth twice a day after meals with fluoride toothpaste, preferably with an electric tooth brush.

 Floss between your teeth
Floss or use an interdental brush every day to remove food, debris and plaque lodged between your teeth.

 Cut down on sugar, and other lifestyle tips
Have a healthy lifestyle, including eating well, not smoking and limiting your alcohol and sugar intake. It’s good for your whole body, including your teeth, gums and mouth.

 Brush baby teeth as soon as they come through
Start brushing a baby’s teeth as soon as they come through and avoid sweetened food and drinks. Here are tips on how to look after baby teeth, including the importance of avoiding sweetened foods and drinks

 Get children into a teeth-cleaning routine

 Straighten crooked teeth with braces
More and more teenagers (and some adults) are having braces and orthodontics to straighten their teeth.

 Have regular dental check-ups 
Have regular check-ups with your dentist. Don’t put off going for a check-up. Detecting problems early can mean they’re easier to treat. If problems aren’t treated, they may lead to damage that’s harder, or even impossible, to repair.
