29 Mar Happy Easter
4 tips for keeping your teeth healthy during Easter:
1.Snack on cheese, celery, carrot or apple after chocolate. – These snacks are not only better for you than chocolate; they also help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
- Chew sugar-free gum – Make sure it’s sugar-free because if it’s regular gum you’re not doing your teeth (or yourself) any favours. Sugar-free gum is beneficial because it promotes saliva production which can minimise tooth decay. Sugar-free gum also can help to clean food debris from crevices of your teeth.
- Drink plenty of water – Drinking water after each meal or snack is good for rinsing food particles from your mouth. Doing this reduces the amount of foodstuff the bacteria in your mouth has to feed off and cause tooth decay.
4.Visit Putney Dental Surgery for regular dental check-ups and cleans – A professional clean from a dentist provides a level of cleaning that is more rigorous than what you can do with brushing and flossing.
Regular check-ups can prevent problems from being major issues that require a lot of dental work.
