Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need my teeth cleaned regularly?
It’s common to get build ups of calculus (tartar) around your teeth which you will not be able to remove at home. This build up can lead to gum disease. A hygienist can clean this off with special instruments and give you advice on how to decrease the rate of this build up.
Is using mouthwash as good as brushing your teeth?
No! Brushing your teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste will manually remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth to reduce the chances of dental decay and gum disease. Mouthwash does not do this!
A fluoride containing mouthwash can benefit you if used after a meal because it gives you an application of fluoride and neutralises the acids caused from bacteria and food. You should not rinse your mouth with water or mouth rinse after brushing your teeth as you are just rinsing off the high fluoride amount in toothpaste which has a topical benefit.
Is fluoride good for your teeth?
Yes! An appropriate level of fluoride is important and will increase your resistance to dental decay.
What can cause teeth staining?
Heavily coloured foods and drinks, like tea, coffee, red wine, curry, turmeric etc. Smoking is a big no no!
