Your gums bleed when you floss… so you stop flossing.
Makes sense, right?
Actually… not quite. 👀

Bleeding gums can be a sign that your gums are inflamed, often because plaque is building up around them.
Keeping the area clean is important, although persistent bleeding shouldn’t just be ignored.

If your gums regularly bleed when brushing or flossing, it’s worth visiting your dentist or hygienist.

We’re not here to judge any biscuit habits!
If we ask about what food and drink you enjoy, it's because your diet can have a big impact on your teeth.

It’s not just sweets either - frequent snacking, sugary drinks and acidic foods and drinks can all affect your teeth.
So when we ask about your diet, it’s because it helps us understand the bigger picture when it comes to your oral health.

Things dentists wish you knew… 👀🦷

1️⃣ You don’t need to be embarrassed if you haven’t been for a while.
2️⃣ We genuinely aren’t judging what you eat.
3️⃣ Bleeding gums aren’t something to just accept as “normal”.
4️⃣ Brushing harder doesn’t make your teeth cleaner.
5️⃣ And please… don’t only floss before your appointment.

Our job is to help you look after your teeth, not make you feel guilty about them.

👅 If your answer is “I’ve never even thought about it” - you’re definitely not alone!

Your tongue can collect bacteria, food particles and debris, so gently cleaning it can be a useful addition to your oral hygiene routine.

It takes seconds and can leave your mouth feeling noticeably fresher.

Do you need to give up sugar completely to have healthy teeth?
Thankfully… no. 😂

It’s not necessarily about never eating anything sweet again — it’s about how often your teeth are exposed to sugar.
Constantly grazing on sugary snacks and drinks throughout the day gives your teeth repeated acid attacks, so reducing how frequently you have sugary foods and drinks can make a difference.

But healthy teeth aren’t just about what you eat. 🦷

A good oral health routine also means:
🪥 Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✨ Cleaning between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes
🦷 Keeping up with regular dental check-ups
💧 Having regular hygienist appointments to help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy

And if you do enjoy something sweet, try to clean your teeth afterwards.
Because nobody wants to live in a world without chocolate. 🍫😂

Let’s be honest… 👀
How often do you actually floss?

Every day? A few times a week? Only the night before your dental appointment? 😂

Flossing, or using interdental brushes is a really important part of keeping your gums healthy because your toothbrush can’t reach everywhere.

During a dental check-up, we’re not just looking for cavities.

We’re also checking your gums, looking for signs of tooth wear, changes in your mouth and anything else that might need further investigation.

That’s why regular dental check-ups are about much more than simply checking whether you need a filling.

Thinking about whitening your teeth?
Before you buy the first whitening kit you see online… stop. 👀

Not all whitening treatments are the same, and it’s important to make sure the treatment is suitable for your teeth and gums.

At Elstead Dental Surgery, we offer Philips Zoom Whitening, including in-surgery whitening and home whitening options.
The best place to start? A conversation with our dental team about what you actually want to achieve.

We’re not saying you’ve been brushing your teeth wrong for your entire life…
…but you might be. 👀🪥

Brushing harder doesn’t mean brushing better.

In fact, being too aggressive can damage your gums and contribute to tooth wear.
Think gentle pressure, small movements and making sure you reach every surface rather than scrubbing like you’re trying to remove a stubborn stain from a pan. 😂

And yes, your toothbrush should be doing the work, not your arm.
