24.01.2022 Sugar can be directly linked to tooth decay. So, avoiding sugar can be the very essence of healthy teeth. However, in today’s world, sugar is hidden in many unexpected foods. So here we reveal them below: - Pasta sauces Though they taste savoury not sweet, the average person will have between 6 and 12 grams of sugar per serving. - Muesli bars... Whilst it sounds heathy, most muesli bars contain hidden sweeteners like corn syrup, brown sugar and honey. And not to mention most of them have chocolate chips or drizzle over the top. Resulting in them usually containing anywhere from 8-12 grams of sugar per serving. - Yoghurt Bet you didn’t see this one coming! But, yep, typical yoghurts can have around 17-33 grams of sugar per serving. That’s is about as much as 1 cup of chocolate ice cream. - Salad dressing Although it goes on salad, don’t be fooled. Sweet types of dressings contain around 5-7 grams of sugar in just 2 tablespoons of dressing. See more

24.01.2022 Are you flossing your teeth correctly? One of the biggest mistakes people make is firstly not flossing their teeth at all, and if they do, they don’t floss correctly.

16.01.2022 WE ALL know that brushing twice daily is the standard for maintaining good oral health, but how often should you be getting your teeth professionally cleaned? The general guideline is to have a professional clean every six months. However, this may vary depending on your needs, and the state of your teeth. For example, people with active gum disease may require a professional clean every three months, whereas those with excellent oral health may decide with their dentist that an annual visit is fine

12.01.2022 Diet plays a vital role in teeth health. Calcium, vitamin D and phosphorous each significantly contribute to the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums in both children and adults. Calcium is responsible for making the jaw bones strong to keep your teeth in place. Phosphorus assist in this process as they optimise calcium’s bone strengthening benefits. ... Whilst vitamin D regulates the body’s balance of calcium and phosphorous. In addition, it can also promote absorption. So, how can you implement these important sustenance's throughout your diet? - Calcium: Try eating dairy foods such as cheese and yoghurt, brown rice, oranges, cabbage, beans, broccoli, salmon, peas. - Vitamin D: Focus on dairy products, eggs, some cereals, oily fish (tuna, sardines etc). - Phosphorus: This can be found in cereals, wheat germ, soya beans, almonds and other nuts, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, grapes, citrus fruit, cucumbers, tomatoes. And, of course, try avoiding as much sugar as possible! A healthy diet is essential for healthy teeth.
