“Prevention Is Better
Than Cure”
 Your
teeth can and should last a lifetime. Prevention and early
detection are key in avoiding costly and painful dental treatment.
Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus,
the main cause of decay and gum disease.
The most important steps in maintaining oral health and preventing
tooth decay are regular brushing and a balanced diet. Additional
methods also exist, among them the application of dental sealants.
Sealants, made of plastic resin, shield tooth enamel from
acids and plaque.

resistance to decay

Oral Care for Restorations
 It
is important to look after your new restorations. Try to avoid
using abrasive toothpaste that may damage your teeth and restorations
and increase sensitivity. It is advisable to use a mouthwash
first to loosen plaque etc. and clean with fluoride toothpaste
to finish. It is also advisable not to rinse out the toothpaste
but just to expectorate.
Full oral hygiene instruction will be given to you by your
hygienist. It is now known that certain oral bacteria cause
gum disease. Your hygienist will demonstrate to you how to
control this disease by disrupting the progress of these bacteria.
 You
and your hygienist will work closely together to discover
some areas of bacterial infection.Your hygienist will carefully
clean and polish every tooth surface so those bacteria can
be kept under control and show you oral hygiene procedures
such as proper brushing and flossing techniques.
