Oral hygiene advice from our team at Spa Dental Sydney CBD

When it comes to making sure your teeth last and look good well into your later years, there’s really no better solution than having a good old fashioned healthy cleaning routine. There are a number of different methods and techniques to attain that Hollywood smile for longer, but generally there’s a few solid basics you can stick to that work just as well.

So with that in mind, our team at Spa Dental Sydney CBD have come up with a few things you can try at home to toughen up your tooth care routine.

Brush as often as you can

Brushing your teeth regularly and often is perhaps the most vital part of any good oral cleaning routine. Missing just one day of brushing can mean plaque and bacteria have more time to grow and infest different parts of your teeth and gums. So regularly cleaning them out is a great way to keep your chompers looking good for longer.

Generally, it’s recommended that you brush thoroughly at least twice a day, preferably first thing in the morning and then after mealtimes or before bed later in the evening.

Introduce dental floss

To really clear out any tartar build up, it is important to introduce flossing after meals. Regularly flossing after eating clears out any food particles that can become stuck in your teeth and then over time this can cause plaque and tartar to build up. There are a lot of brands and thicknesses out there, so try to find one that works for you. If you’re unsure where to start with floss or what the correct method for cleaning is, then our team at Spa Dental Sydney CBD will provide deeply informative and helpful advice.

Rinse with a mouthwash

Another recommendation from our team at Spa Dental Sydney CBD is to use a tooth friendly mouthwash after every brushing session. Using a mouthwash thoroughly coats the inside of your mouth and reaches parts of your gums and teeth that you may miss during brushing. It can also help reduce any plaque as well as kill harmful bacteria that may be hiding away.

Try using an electric toothbrush

Normally a manual brush is a good enough method of keeping your teeth clean, but using an electric vibrating brush is a great way to get that extra deep clean feeling. It also allows you to reach further between your teeth with its vibrating bristles, something you might not manage with a normal toothbrush.

Book regular check-ups at the practice

Last but not least, it can’t be stressed enough how important it is that you keep up a regular check-up schedule. Not only does this let us give your teeth a deep cleaning, it also allows us to keep track of your progress as you get older, as well as spot any potential health issues that might crop up.

These are just a few things you can do to buff up your oral health care routine. If you would like to know more about how you can protect and strengthen your teeth, then ask our team on your next visit to the practice.
