Simple Steps to Long-Lasting Oral Health
Good oral hygiene can help you keep a long-lasting, happy smile. It really is one of the simplest practices to incorporate in your day, which can prevent serious and costly dental issues down the track!
Here are 5 simple tips to a long-lasting healthy smile.
Brush at least twice a day: You should do this morning and night. Use a gentle, circular motion around your teeth and gums.
Floss at least once a day: Floss at night using a slow and gentle sawing motion.
Limit sugary foods or acidic drinks where possible: These include sweets and soft drinks.
Protect your teeth from injury during sports: If you play contact sports, make sure you wear a custom mouthguard.
Schedule six-monthly checkup and cleans at your dentist.

Caring for Our Senior Patients
Maintaining your oral health is important for everyone, from our youngest to our senior patients. As we age, so do our teeth and gums. It’s more important than ever to keep them in a healthy condition to prevent more serious health concerns down the track.
Some dental issues that may arise as we mature include dry mouth, reduced taste sensation, darkened or stained teeth and gum recession.
Dental Care Tips for Seniors:
1. Gently brush your teeth morning and night with a soft toothbrush using a fluoride toothpaste.
2. Floss at least once a day.
3. Keep your lips moist by using a natural lip balm.
4. Take care of your dentures by rinsing after eating and cleaning them daily.
5. Have regular dental checkups/cleans with your dentist.
