01.01.2022 Foods that contain sugars of any kind can contribute to tooth decay. Almost all foods, including milk and vegetables, contain some type of sugar; however; these foods are a necessary part of a healthy diet, because many of them also contain important nutrients. To help control the amount of sugar you consume, read food labels and choose foods and beverages that are low in added sugars. Added sugars are often present in soft drinks, candy, cookies and pastries. Call us at (07) 4529 7477 for more details or visit our website: https://www.westbrookdental.com.au/

01.01.2022 Its important to floss your teeth once a day. Flossing removes food particles and plaque between the teeth, where your toothbrush cannot reach. If plaque is not removed regularly, it can harden into tartar, which can be removed only by a dentist or hygienist. Visit our website: https://www.westbrookdental.com.au/

01.01.2022 It is important to brush teeth and gums at least twice a day. If possible, brush 30 minutes after every meal. Brushing not only removes plaque, but also removes food particles stuck between teeth. When bacteria in plaque come into contact with food particles, they produce acids. These acids lead to cavities.
