Homecare
A clean and healthy mouth is essential to control tooth decay and gum disease. Regular dental visits, effective homecare measures and a sensible diet are an essential part of good dental health.
Tooth brushing using a fluoride toothpaste should be done twice daily and daily flossing is ideal. The use of an electric toothbrush can improve brushing effectiveness and there are homecare products such as the water flossers and inter dental brushes that can be of great help too.
A few dietary hints – Limit the amount of high sugar foods, and drinks, especially soft drink and fruit juice. Sports drinks are full of sugar so use with care. Don’t snack with sweet foods and “grazing” is a no-no. Fruit is acidic, so limit the amount of fruit you eat and rinse with water afterwards. Citrus fruits are particularly acidic.
