Dentist Dentexcel

Maintain a Healthy Smile

Keeping your smile bright and healthy isn’t just about looks—it’s key to your overall wellbeing. With a handful of simple daily habits and regular visits to the dentist, you can protect your teeth and gums for years to come. Here’s how to make excellent oral health second nature:

Effective Brushing

Brush twice daily for two minutes with a soft‑bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Angle the brush at 45° to your gum line, using gentle, circular strokes. Finish with a quick tongue brush to sweep away lingering bacteria and freshen your breath.

Daily Flossing

Floss once a day to clear plaque and food debris from between teeth and below the gum line. If traditional floss is tricky, try interdental brushes or tape. Consistent flossing helps prevent cavities and gum disease in those hard‑to‑reach spots.

Smart Mouthwash Use

Rinse once daily with an alcohol‑free, fluoride mouthwash. This extra step reduces harmful bacteria, strengthens enamel and combats bad breath—without drying out your mouth.

Smile-Friendly Diet

Limit sugary or acidic treats (think fizzy drinks and citrus fruits) and rinse with water after indulging. Opt for cheese, nuts, crunchy vegetables or sugar‑free gum to boost saliva, which naturally protects and remineralises teeth.

Professional Check-Ups

Visit us every six months for a full examination and hygiene clean. Early detection of decay or gum issues means simpler treatment, and our team can tailor advice—from home‑care tweaks to cosmetic options like Boutique Whitening.

Top Tip

Replace your toothbrush every three months (or sooner if bristles are frayed) to ensure effective cleaning and avoid bacterial buildup.

By embracing these simple habits—brushing, flossing, smart rinsing, balanced eating, regular dental visits and protective measures—you’ll enjoy a fresh, confident smile every day.
