ORAL HEALTH INFORMATION



There are ways of preventing these disease processes. Home care is as important as the work of the dentist. Use of a fluoride toothpaste, mouthwash and regular flossing or cleaning of the interdental areas will help reduce this. Reducing the amount of sugary drinks and foods you consume and also the frequency of eating and drinking. Restricting these to meal times can be the first step. Decay is a disease caused by diet so this must form the basis of prevention. Visiting the dentist regularly is also important as the dentist can detect early signs of decay. Previous
