Hygiene advice

It is very important to maintain a very good oral hygiene to preserve the natural teeth and increase their longevity of life. The following cleaning aids if used correctly will help to achieve this. 

Brushing: To achieve very effective cleaning it is recommended to use an electric toothbrush like Sonicare which helps not only remove the plaque but also helps to remove the staining from tea, coffee and other foods. For more details about how to use the Sonicare ask the dentist or any of our staff and they will be happy to assist you. Special practice price of £95 for Sonicare Flexcare.

Flossing: One way to clean between your teeth is with dental floss or tape. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline, areas a toothbrush can’t reach. Your dentist or hygienist can show you proper flossing techniques.

Mouthwash: Using a mouthwash helps to remove the plaque and bacteria in between brushing times. It also helps keep a fresh odour and removes bad breath. Different flavours are now available to suit individual preferences.

Tongue Cleaning: Tongue cleansing is an efficient way to help achieve and sustain a healthy, fresh mouth. Recent scientific evidence has validated the need to practice regular tongue cleansing to help reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth.
