5 Steps to Good Oral Health

Just a few minutes a day will help ensure good oral health.  Here are five things you can do to help ensure healthy gums and teeth.



1. Brush Your Teeth Daily.

If you use a power toothbrush, I suggest that you use one that offers rotation/oscillation action.


2. Floss Between Your Teeth To Remove Dental Plaque Daily.

You can use floss (on its own or in a holder or a flosser), interdental brushes (for bridges and braces) or picks or irrigators.  You should do this at least once a day.


3. Rinse With an Antiseptic Mouthwash.

Rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash will also help reduce the accumulation of dental plaque and help with some breath problems.


4. Make Healthy Food Choices.

Sound nutritious food choices that are low in sugar are better for your overall health and your oral health.


5.  Get Regular Professional Dental Hygiene Care.

Perhaps your best weapon in the battle to maintain good oral health is a regular visit to your dental hygienist.  Remember that you have the option to book an appointment with an independent registered Dental Hygienist. 


Did you know that scientific studies show a clear association between periodontal disease and lung disease?
