In the absence of a good dental care routine, an invisible layer of bacteria will form on your teeth and gums. This is called plaque.

When you consume sugar, the plaque within your mouth turns the sugar into acid, which results in tooth decay. You can help to prevent dental decay by reducing the frequency and amount of sugary foods and drinks and by brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.

The presence of plaque also leads to gingivitis and gum disease. You can help prevent gingivitis and gum disease by cleaning all surfaces of your teeth thoroughly and effectively by brushing twice a day as well as cleaning in-between your teeth with interdental aids such as floss or interdental brushes.

Your dentist will be able to give you more detailed advice based on your own specific dental needs.You need to ensure that you make regular visits to your dentist or hygienist, so that they can recommend ways of maintaining a healthy mouth, such as using fluoride rinses, high fluoride toothpaste or flossing, and help maintain good oral health.

Regular check-ups can help prevent problems before they happen:

Cavities

Gum disease

Oral cancer

We recommend that you follow these simple steps to help keep your teeth and gums healthy:

Brush at least twice a day, including brushing your teeth last thing at night, with a fluoride toothpaste

Floss regularly or use an interdental aid regularly
Reduce the amount and frequency of sugary foods and drinks
Use a Fluoride mouthwash
Drink plenty of water and milk
Chew sugar free gum
Avoid alcohol and smoking
Visit your Dentist regularly
