Oral Hygiene – Preventative Care
To keep your teeth, gum and mouth healthy it is essential to practice good oral hygiene everyday and ensure regular visits to the dentist for a check up. Good oral hygiene means brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily using correct techniques as recommended by your dentist and maintaining six-monthly appointments to the dentist for a routine oral assessment of your gums and teeth as well as professional cleaning and polishing.
Preventative dental care is very important to make sure any signs of poor oral health are attended to at an early stage and your natural teeth and gums maintain long term health. Gum disease or gingivitis can advance to serious gum disease, periodontitis, if not treated by a professional dentist. These poor oral health problems can also contribute to your overall health and wellbeing. Health issues such as heart disease and stroke can become a greater risk for people will poor oral health.1
