Maintaining healthy teeth and gums from an early age plays an important role in long term oral health. Good oral hygiene can help reduce the risk of common conditions such as tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
At Smile Dental Clinic in Kalgoorlie, regular dental check ups are recommended every six months, or more frequently if advised by your dentist, to support ongoing dental health.
Diet and daily habits can have a significant impact on oral health. Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks increases the risk of tooth decay. Limiting sugar intake and maintaining a balanced diet can help protect teeth and gums.
Brushing twice daily with a soft bristled toothbrush and flossing once a day are essential parts of a good oral hygiene routine. A dentist recommended mouthwash may also be used where appropriate.
Regular visits with a dental hygienist can help remove plaque and tartar buildup and provide personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and areas that may require extra care.
