Maintaining personal dental hygiene is essential for your overall oral health. Brushing teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste helps remove plaque and prevent cavities. Flossing daily removes food particles and plaque from between teeth and using mouthwash can further reduce bacteria and freshen breath.

Coupled with regular dental check-ups every six months to help early detection of issues like cavities or gum disease, keeping on top of your personal oral care will help to ensure a healthy smile in the long term.

Preventing gum disease starts with good oral hygiene, brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily to remove excess plaque, the main cause of gum disease.

Avoiding tobacco products and maintaining a balanced diet also contribute to gum health. Lastly, being aware of risk factors like diabetes and hormonal changes can help in preventive care.

Commitment to these habits and regular visits to the team at Farlington Dental in Portsmouth, gives you the best chance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums for life.

The hygienist is available at our practice three days a week and you can access a hygienist appointment WITHOUT the need to visit the dentist first.
