What do you think about when it comes to keeping your mouth healthy?
Cleaning your teeth? The occasional floss (not the dance!).
You’re right, those things are really important. But good oral hygiene is more than just brushing twice a day and doing a little flossing when you’ve got some popcorn stuck in between your teeth. It’s about keeping your whole mouth clean, tidy and in shipshape condition.
So, what can you do to keep your whole mouth ticking along?
First, make firm friends with your floss. When you brush you’re only reaching about 60% of your teeth’s surfaces. That’s a whopping 40% that’s being left behind with zero attention. Get in between those teeth and get those food cretins out every single day.
Put. Down. The. Cake. OK, you can have a nibble. But seriously, eating too much sugar is the number one killer for teeth and gums. Say ‘nah thanks’ to the sugary drinks and foods. A bad diet can lead to gum disease which has a zillion bad side effects on your entire body, including an increased chance of heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
Come and see us! 65% of Australians haven’t seen a dentist in the last two years, which makes us sad because we love seeing you, but makes your teeth really sad because, well, who knows what’s lurking in your mouth.
A check-up isn’t just about counting your teeth. We check the health of your gums, chompers and entire mouth, including doing a mouth cancer check every time you come in. We even check under your tongue.
