Tips to keep you and your Valentine smiling this year!
Remember to keep up your water intake. Lack of hydration can decrease the quality and quantity of saliva which often leads to a higher rate of decay and bad breath.
Be dentally smart when giving sweet treats. Dark chocolate contains less sugar than white and milk chocolate.
Get any outstanding treatment completed – active decay and gum inflammation don’t smell or look very romantic if left to fester for a long time.
Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Remember to spit out the toothpaste after brushing but not to rinse – we need the remnants of the toothpaste in your mouth to strengthen your teeth against decay.
Floss your teeth once a day while the remnants of your toothpaste are still in your mouth – this way you’ll ensure that the strengthening agents in your toothpaste reach the surfaces between the teeth – this is the area most at risk for decay and gum problems.
Ensure you have your routine hygiene appointment booked in to keep your teeth sparkling clean and to detect problems early.
