GUM HEALTH

Caring for Your Gums and Overall Oral Health is Essential

Maintaining gum health is crucial to prevent periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss. Regular check-ups and cleanings help to identify and address any issues early on. Our team is dedicated to providing personalised care to ensure your gums remain healthy.

Brush Properly and Regularly

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed, using fluoride toothpaste

Spend about 2 minutes brushing, ensuring you clean all tooth surfaces thoroughly

Use gentle, circular motions and pay attention to the gumline

Don’t rush or brush too aggressively, as this can irritate your gums


 Floss Daily

Clean between your teeth at least once a day using dental floss or interdental brushes

This helps remove plaque and food particles from areas your toothbrush can’t reach, preventing gum disease and cavities

For best results, floss before brushing to allow the fluoride from your toothpaste to reach between your teeth

Maintain a Healthy Diet

Reduce your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, especially before bedtime

Stay hydrated by drinking water, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria

Additionally, avoid tobacco use and limit alcohol consumption to protect your oral health

Regular dental check-ups, ideally every six months, are also crucial for maintaining good oral health and catching any issues early
