General preventive advice
To maintain good oral hygiene, you need to brush at least twice every day using a fluoride toothpaste. After brushing, spit out any remaining toothpaste rather than rinsing your mouth. Electric toothbrushes can be more effective than using a manual toothbrush.
Floss and interdental brushes are effective as brushing teeth alone won't clean the space between the teeth adequately. The accumulation of bacterial plaque between the teeth often causes gum problems. Our dentists can advise you on the most suitable measure for you.
Diet plays a very important role in maintaining oral health. We advise you to avoid sugary drinks and snacks between meals and especially last thing at night. Acidic beverages such as fizzy drinks and fruit juices can cause acid erosion of dental enamel and it is recommended that they be consumed only a few times a week rather than daily.
Smoking is not good for general health but it also has a very negative effect on gum health. Gum diseases are more common in people who smoke and treatments are less effective for smokers compared to non-smokers. Tobacco and alcohol consumption are major causes of oral cancer.
