At a time when most households are feeling the squeeze, Evesham Dental Health Team thought now would be good to remind readers about the importance of maintaining great dental care between visits.
Visiting our dental practice in Broadway Road as often as recommended is vital for helping us spot any potential issues before they become painful or more expensive to treat. But it is the all-important partnership between our dentists, hygiene team and the care you give your teeth at home that will help keep them healthy for life.
The four key messages highlighted during National Smile Month 2023 explained that we should all:
- Brush our teeth for two minutes, last thing at night and when we wake up in the morning with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between our teeth every day, with floss or interdental brushes.
- Cut down how much and how often we have sugary foods and drinks.
- Visit the dentist regularly.
Brushing at bedtime is important because the fluoride in our toothpaste will continue to protect our teeth while we sleep.
Remember: spit don’t rinse! Rinsing after toothbrushing washes away the fluoride protection.
Use floss or interdental brushes before toothbrushing to remove any plaque between your teeth.
Our dental and hygiene team can suggest the right sized interdental brushes for your mouth, as well as providing dietary advice, such as eating sugar in one sitting rather than snacking throughout the day, not drinking sugary drinks, including fruit juices and squash.
Joining a monthly dental health plan can help spread the cost of essential dental and hygiene care and save you money.
