Step up to better oral healthAlthough September is National Smile Month, Absolute Dental reinforce the message of good oral health DAILY to all our patients.
We have adopted a policy of asking all our patients to bring in their toothbrushes to Hygienist or Oral Health Instruction appointments. This enables us to assess patients brushing techniques and modify as necessary so we know that patients are getting the best from their brushes to maintain their oral health in the best possible condition.
We also reinforce the importance of cleaning in between the teeth at least once a day, as brushing alone only covers 60% of the tooth surface, a staggering 40% is between the teeth.
By following these simple steps will help you maintain a healthier smile.
Brush twice a day
Change your toothbrush every 3 months or when it shows signs of wear
Clean in between the teeth at least once a day
Avoid sugary snacks between meals
Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly
