24.01.2022 How often you brush, how long you brush, the kind of technique and the toothbrush you use all impact on the effectiveness of your brushing. Tempting as it is to think that pressing harder on your teeth equals a better clean, the fact is that too much pressure can damage your guns and tooth enamel.

08.01.2022 It is not just the obvious sweet foods and drinks such as lollies and soft drinks that can cause decay. Frequent snacking in foods with hidden sugars like biscuits, crackers, cereals, chips and even dried fruit (these also break down into sugars in the mouth) can cause acid attacks on your tooth enamel. A teeth friendly habit to adopt to reduce the risk of tooth decay is to limit sugary treats to meal times, rather than between meals.

03.01.2022 Chewing gum with sugar may increase caries risk, whereas sugar-free chewing gum is non-cariogenic. The physical act of chewing increases salivary flow in the mouth; if chewed after eating, the increased salivary flow can help neutralize and wash away the acids that are produced when food is broken down by the bacteria in plaque on teeth.

02.01.2022 Oral cancers can affect any part of the mouth, but is most commonly found in the tongue, floor of the mouth, lips and cheeks. Oral health professionals recommend that people look out for red and white patches in their mouths and sores and ulcers that do not heal within two weeks. In most cases, spots in the mouth will be harmless, but it is important not to delay a diagnosis. Gum disease affects most people at some time during their life. It is usually caused by a bu...ild-up of plaque on teeth. The dentist or oral health professional will exam your gums with a probe to measure the spaces between the tooth and gum. This will determine the health of your gums and supporting structures. If necessary, the dentist will instruct you in tooth cleaning techniques or may clean your teeth professionally to remove any plaque and calculus.

01.01.2022 World Cavity-Free Future Day (WCFFD) asks people everywhere to join the fight against tooth decay by choosing water over sugary drinks for a day (and, of course, well beyond). #choosewater Water and unflavoured milk drinks are the best choices. Recommended adult daily sugar limit to decrease risk of tooth decay: 6 teaspoons or 24 grams
