Brushing too vigorously can increase your likelihood of gum recession and damaged tooth enamel. To brush properly, hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle in relation to your gums and move your hand in a circular motion. Floss at least once per day. Even if you brush twice a day, food particles can still get trapped in the spaces between your teeth. Flossing once a day helps to prevent tartar buildup that contributes to tooth decay and gum disease.

Make flossing part of your routine: Adding dental flossing to your daily routine can significantly improve your oral hygiene? Dental floss helps to prevent the buildup of plaque, which can lead to tartar. It also ensures that excess food particles that you may not see in the mirror or in areas that your toothbrush doesn’t reach are removed, helping to prevent decay. In addition, flossing also encourages you to become more aware of your teeth and gums. Getting into the habit of regularly examining your teeth, gums and tongue means that you will be more likely to spot early signs and symptoms of problems such as oral cancer.

While do-it-yourself teeth whitening kits are available over the counter we would always advise professional treatment in order to avoid damaging your teeth or gums with chemicals that may be too harsh for them and treatments that may be painful. When you come to us you will have an initial consultation to check that teeth whitening is suitable for you and then we will recommend the best option. In most cases we will take a mould of your teeth which will be sent to a specialist laboratory to make whitening trays that fit precisely. These are supplied to you with whitening gel and you simply wear the trays overnight for a couple of weeks while your teeth are gently and gradually whitened. Then you can “top up” your whiteness by using the trays occasionally after that. Your dentist will be able to explain everything when you visit.

Why do I have to give a medical history when I attend the dentist? The dentist not only needs to check the health of your head and neck and inside of your mouth but is also assessing your overall health. This includes your past and current medical history, any allergies or chronic medical conditions and any medication you might be taking. Letting the dentist know what medication you are on is important as some medications have an effect on the treatment that the dentist prescribes. For example, some medications cause your glands to produce less saliva causing “dry-mouth”. This can increase the risk of decay for some people as the plaque is more likely to dry on the teeth rather than be washed away by saliva. The dentist and hygienist can advise ways to reduce such risks and a full medical history can help them to assist you.
