The best way to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile is preventing issues before they arise

The best way to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile is preventing issues before they arise. We encourage good oral hygiene and help you develop a dental care routine tailored to your requirements.

We suggest using the following tips to support a good oral health.

Brushing & Flossing

Brushing twice a day as this removes plaque accumulation. Flossing at least once a day removes any food debris stuck between the teeth that would cause damage to the teeth and gums specifically in the form of dental decay and gum disease.

Use The Right Toothbrush

Use only a soft toothbrush with soft bristles to minimise tooth abrasion and erosion.

Regular Visits with Perfect Smile

A dental examination and professional clean should be conducted every six months with us so we can assess your smile in depth and clean away any tartar build-up. Additionally, we monitor and detect signs of gum disease to reduce its effect on your health.

Quit Smoking & Reduce Alcohol Intake

It is a commonly held medical opinion that smoking and alcohol consumption increase risk of oral cancer along with many other diseases and cancers. One of our dentists can perform an oral cancer screening at your next examination. If you are concerned about any lesions in your mouth, make an appointment today.

We want you to keep your natural teeth for life.
