Good dental hygiene is key to making sure that your teeth, gums, and smile stay in tip top shape. Your dentist can only do so much and it is your responsibility to ensure that you maintain a good standard of oral hygiene in between visits.

You need to brush your teeth to remove all the plaque and to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It is important to brush your teeth twice a day, while the plaque is still soft. Brushing your teeth should be part of your daily routine, just like washing your hands and face or brushing your hair.

Smoking, consuming excessive amounts of sugary or acidic food or drink can affect your teeth and gums, Try to limit these foods and drinks to meal times.

Visit your dentist regularly and follow their advice. The benefits will be clearly visible for all to see!
