If you are a regular patient then you will already know how passionately we feel about preventative dental care. A good oral hygiene routine is invaluable for maintaining great dental health.

Looking after Your Teeth and Gums at Home

A good dental care regime will only take a few minutes each day. It is essential to brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes each time, taking care to methodically clean all your tooth surfaces. Think of your mouth is being split into four quadrants or sections and aim to spend around 30 seconds thoroughly brushing each section. Daily flossing is also vital. One mistake people often make is to use too little dental floss as you need a section about 45 cm long so you can use a fresh piece for each tooth. We know lots of people find flossing tricky so why not ask us for practical help and advice?

Why See Your Local Dentist in Redcliffe for Regular Dental Check-ups?

Our detailed dental examinations will detect even the slightest changes to your dental health. Common diseases such as tooth decay and periodontal disease can soon develop and your check-ups allow us to provide treatment at a stage when it is quicker and less invasive. When treated early enough, periodontal disease is completely reversible and healthy gums help to protect your general health. We thoroughly recommend regular hygiene appointments; a scale and clean will remove plaque and tartar and is a nice way to maintain excellent gum health and fresh breath.
