We recommend that you visit us every six months for a routine check up and a deep clean.
Factors which can affect the health of your gums and teeth can include a wide variety of elements, such as stress, diabetes, genetics and pregnancy. However, plague is undoubtedly the major contributing cause of both mild gum disease, in the form of gingivitis, and the more advanced stages of periodontal disease. Conscientious removal of plaque by flossing, brushing and regular professional cleanings will minimise your risk of gum disease.
Advice is extended to all of our patients in our continual effort, to help you overcome oral problems in the future. Our advice includes some of the following steps:
- Use a soft toothbrush with rounded bristles or a good quality electric toothbrush
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months or after illness
- Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
- Floss once daily
- Avoid tobacco products
- Avoid excessive alcohol use
