Gingivitis and periodontitis are forms of gum disease. When plaque and bacteria build up on your teeth and along the gum line, it causes inflammation and gingivitis.

If your gums bleed when brushing, flossing or eating this is a sign of gum disease.

Early gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with dental treatment and good oral hygiene. However, when the inflammation spreads, periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease can develop. Bone and tooth loss can happen if periodontitis is not treated.

What is bruxism?

Bruxism is the medical name for teeth grinding or clenching that is not part of normal chewing. Adults and children can grind their teeth during sleep. You might also grind your teeth during the day.

If you grind your teeth while asleep, you may not be aware that you are doing it.

Your dentist will check for signs of bruxism, such as tooth wear and damage, during regular dental check-ups.

Dental erosion, or tooth erosion, is a common problem that can happen at any age. It happens when the enamel surface of your teeth is softened by acids and worn away. These acids can come from your stomach or from food and drinks.

If not treated early, dental erosion can slowly wear away the surface of your tooth. Acid slowly dissolves your tooth enamel, making the dentine underneath visible. Dentine is a yellowish-brown colour.

If you're concerned about your teeth or have signs or symptoms of dental erosion, visit your dental practitioner for a check-up.

Toothbrushing should be done twice per day. It should be done in the morning and again at night for two minutes each time. Brushing your teeth at night should be the last thing you do before bed, with no food or drink after brushing.
Brushing for two minutes means brushing the teeth in each corner of the mouth for approximately 30 seconds.

Cleaning between the teeth is known as 'interdental cleaning'. This should be a key part of daily dental health routines for both children and adults. It is just as important as toothbrushing for your oral health.

Interdental cleaning is often referred to as 'flossing' because flossing has always been the most common method. Do you have to floss to clean between teeth? Not necessary, as there are multiple ways to perform this cleaning. These include using string floss, flossettes, interdental brushes, an electric flosser or a water flosser.

Did you know it’s recommended you replace your toothbrush / toothbrush head as soon as they are damaged or when the bristles become deformed?

When toothbrush bristles become worn out they are less effective at cleaning your teeth and gums. This can lead to plaque build-up and other oral health issues.

Also, if you've recently been sick or had an infection, it's important to replace your toothbrush to avoid reinfection or spreading germs.

Using a fresh toothbrush can help maintain optimal oral hygiene and keep your mouth healthy.

Early treatment can stop or even cure tooth decay.

Tooth decay that has not made a hole or cavity can be treated by a dental professional. They will put fluoride paste or varnish on your teeth. You also need to take preventive steps such as:

• regularly brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste
• improving your diet

This will stop the early decay from becoming a cavity or hole.

You might need a filling to restore your tooth structure.

Teeth grinding (bruxism) often occurs during sleep and may go unnoticed. Over time, grinding can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, headaches, or cracked teeth.

If you wake with jaw soreness or notice your teeth are becoming worn down, your dentist may recommend a custom-made night splint to protect your teeth.

How do my baby’s teeth develop? Your baby is born with 20 primary teeth (also called milk or baby teeth) in their jaw. Your baby’s first teeth usually start to appear when they are 6 months old. Your baby will continue teething until about 2 to 3 years of age.

Your child’s baby teeth are very important. They help guide their permanent (adult) teeth into the right place in their jaw. It is important that you start caring for your child’s teeth and gums from an early age, even before they start teething.

Start cleaning your baby’s gums with a clean, moist gauze pad or washcloth when they are just a few days old. As your baby grows, how you brush their teeth changes.
