We will work alongside you to provide a personalised plan of how best to maintain your smile and prevent future damage, after reviewing your current hygiene routine.

Can poor oral hygiene affect my overall health?
Yes! Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues. Keeping your mouth healthy benefits your whole body.
How often should I visit the dentist for a hygiene appointment?
It’s recommended to see a dental hygienist every six months for a professional cleaning, but some people may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health.
What foods and drinks should I avoid for better dental hygiene?
Limit sugary foods, fizzy drinks and acidic foods, as they can cause cavities and weaken enamel. Drinking water and eating a balanced diet with crunchy fruits and vegetables can help keep your teeth strong.
