The maintenance of good Oral Hygiene is one of the most important aspects of your general health. At Life Smiles Dental Surgery we acknowledge the need for excellent Oral Hygiene habits and are committed to educating patients on the correct procedures that need to be carried out.

Good Oral Hygiene practices not only make your teeth and gums feel fresh and vibrant; but also provide the basic foundation for lifelong Oral Health. By carrying out an appropriate daily routine of excellent Oral Hygiene practices the benefits are considerable. Some of the advantages include;

• The prevention of tooth decay
• The prevention of Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)
• Keeping your natural teeth for life

A healthy, fresh appearance and smell within the mouth are the results of good Oral Hygiene techniques. Correct brushing is fundamental in the maintenance of teeth and gums. Speak to Dr Philip Arndt or Dr Rosemary Restifo for the best way to brush your teeth. Cleaning between teeth is equally important. Flossing once daily is the quickest and most effective way to clean in between teeth. For more steps on helping you achieve good Oral Hygiene visit our Preventive Dentistry page.

It is essential that all members of your family are educated in the techniques required to attain good Oral Health. It is never too late or too early to begin learning and performing good Oral Hygiene processes. It is also important to visit us, at Life Smiles Dental Surgery, on a twice yearly basis. Through these examinations please feel free to ask any questions or state any concerns you may have about your Oral Hygiene or that of your family.
