🦷Toothbrushing only cleans around 60% of your tooth surfaces, without interdentally cleaning your missing the rest!

🦷Daily interdental cleaning (cleaning between the teeth) helps remove plaque and food debris from areas your toothbrush just can’t reach. This helps to:
• Prevent gum disease.
• Reduce bleeding gums.
• Lower the risk of decay between teeth.
• Freshen breath.

🦷Whether you use floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser cleaning between your teeth daily is just as important as brushing twice daily so get in there!

🦷It’s not just the amount of sugar we eat that affects our teeth it’s how often we have it too.

🦷Every time sugary food or drinks are consumed, bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack the enamel not only during the time of consumption but for up to 60 minutes after. Frequent snacking and sipping throughout the day means your teeth are under almost constant acid attack, increasing the risk of tooth decay.

🦷Healthier habits include - �• Keeping sugary foods and drinks to meal times.�• Avoiding frequent snacking on sweet treats. Choose tooth-friendly snacks like cheese, nuts, yoghurt or vegetables instead. �• Drinking only water between meals.

🦷Small changes can make a big difference in protecting your smile and maintaining good oral health.

🦷Brackets and wires make it easier for plaque to build up, leading to:
• Decalcification (white marks on teeth).
• Tooth decay.
• Gum inflammation.
• Permanent damage once braces are removed.

🦷The good news? It’s preventable by following our top tips…
• Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, brushing above and below the brackets.
• Use interdental brushes to clean around brackets and under your wires
• Rinse out with a mouthwash after every meal.
• Limit sugary snacks and drinks.
• Keep up with your dental check-ups.

🦷Final results = a straight, happy, healthy smile.

🦷Missed appointments affect everyone. If you can’t make your appointment please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the time to another patient in need.

🦷Unfortunately the number of missed appointments and late cancellations continues to rise. Sadly this may mean we need to begin enforcing our longstanding practice policy of charging for missed or late cancelled appointments.

🦷Thank you for helping us keep appointments available for everyone.
