Three thoughts for the week everyone should read

A* efforts don't guarantee A* results when it comes to cleaning your smile

If you need dental treatments regularly, scale & polishes or fillings it's possible that your toothbrushing skills need improving. Brushing the same way as you did when you were a child? Most adults have never been show how to properly care for their smile - I'm on a mission to change this.

Flossing every day can add years to your life

Many of you believe flossing is a waste of time. In contrast removing the plaque between your teeth effectively will reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, dementia and many more systemic diseases, adding years to your life.

Your teeth are meant to last your entire life

Receding gums, bone loss and loosing teeth are not signs of ageing they are signs of dental disease. Visiting a trusted oral health professional will help highlight any areas of concern early and prevent these things from happening, so that you can keep your teeth for life.

I know it's a Sunday night, and you really don't want another reminder to brush before bedtime. However I know how simple looking after your smile can be with the right techniques. Effective oral care is not hard, it's effort. Unfortunately teeth are one thing that even if neglected for a short time can result in lasting damage. Once you have a filling that tooth is effectively on a route to more treatment, re-fillings then root canal treatments, crowns then eventually extractions. The cost of dental care is not expensive, regular dental examinations are your best investments to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. Unsure if your brushing correctly? DM me and I'll do what I can to help you keep your smile healthy for life :)
