Holidays! Celebrate with a Mouth Manicure

By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 14 December, 2019 | 0

Just like your nails, a well-manicured mouth looks tidy and well cared for, and there are lots of little things you can do to improve your oral health. Even better, these changes are easy to fit into a busy lifestyle.

Brush Gently and Don’t Scrub

Resist the temptation to scrub your teeth too hard as you can wear away tooth enamel and even gum tissue. Instead, use small circular movements and a soft toothbrush to clean your teeth thoroughly.

Avoid Fizzy Drinks

It might be hard to do at this time of year, but try to minimise your consumption of fizzy drinks. These drinks contain huge amounts of sugar and often phosphoric and citric acid that can soften and erode tooth enamel. Plain water is the best way to hydrate and especially during warmer weather.

Brush after Meals

Brushing your teeth after eating is the best way to prevent food and plaque buildup. However, wait at least half an hour after eating as this gives your mouth a chance to recover so acidity levels can normalise. Otherwise, you will brush softer tooth enamel that is more easily damaged. Don’t forget to floss once-a-day, preferably just before bedtime so you go to sleep with a clean mouth and you’ll wake up with fresher breath too.

Top Tips for Enjoying Better Oral Health This Christmas

By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 14 December, 2019 | 0

The holidays can get busy, but it is possible to maintain a healthy smile with these easy tips.

Eat Plenty of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Tasty fresh fruits and veggies are everywhere and are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and other essential nutrients. Additionally, chewing crisp fruits and vegetables can help to scrub away some plaque from teeth.

Quit Smoking

This year, make sure you stick to your New Year’s resolution to quit, and your teeth will love you. Smokers are more likely to develop gum disease and cavities, and the risk of oral cancer is higher.

Don’t Drink Too Much Alcohol

Alcohol can negatively impact oral health, drying your mouth and increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Also, when you drink too much, you are less likely to brush your teeth regularly.

Brush Twice Daily and Floss Once Daily

A regular brushing and flossing routine is so simple and quick and helps protect your teeth against dental disease. You only need to spend a few minutes each day caring for your teeth and having a healthy mouth protects your overall health too. If you’re not sure you are brushing and flossing correctly, we’d love to help you. We can show you lots of easy techniques to brush and floss thoroughly.

Summer Tips for Healthy Teeth

By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 14 December, 2019 | 0

The summer is a time when many of us will enjoy trips away or spending time with friends and family. However, these events can impact dental health. We’ve listed a few summer tips for enjoying healthy teeth, no matter where you are.

Stick to Your Routine

When staying up late for summer parties and celebrations, it can be tempting to skip brushing, but it only takes two minutes to brush your teeth thoroughly and another few minutes to floss properly. If you have kids, it’s even more important to make sure they stick to their regular oral care routine. You could try brushing alongside them, so the entire family have healthy mouths.

Travellng out of town.

If you are travelling out of town and require a dentist we suggest Aesthetik Dental in Geelong.

Give Sugary Drinks and Snacks a Miss

As the temperature rises, it’s tempting to cool down with sugary juice or fizzy drinks, but these aren’t the best way to quench your thirst. Instead, choose water or milk. Snacking smarter will help protect your teeth so avoid sugary foods and instead opt for crunchy fruits and vegetables, cheese or sugar-free yoghurt or dip.

Plan for Your Back-To-School or Back to Work Dental Appointments

Start the New Year with a healthy mouth and plan your back-to-school or back to work checkup now. Booking your appointment sooner will help you get ahead of the rush.
