Teeth that have grooves or deep fissures are more likely to be affected by decay. Bacteria can easily enter the small gaps, and they’re difficult to clean by brushing. A simple solution is a plastic coating on the back teeth that will prevent cavities. It’s an easy, pain-free process that involves painting on the sealant, then setting it with a specialized light. It’s then ready for you to eat and drink as usual. When you have a scale and polish, it starts with a thorough cleaning that prevents gum disease and the weakening of tooth structure. Built-up plaque is removed, since this type of bacteria can wear away the tooth’s surface, resulting in bad breath and cavities. If left untreated, plaque will form into calculus, a hard deposit that’s challenging to remove, which can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Our dental team is here to help you achieve and enjoy your best possible smile. No matter what the current state of your teeth, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to transform your smile from dull to dazzling

                                   Taking Care Of Your Oral Health In Self Isolation

During self-isolation, make sure you are well prepared to care for your oral health. The pandemic is disrupting every area of our lives are currently, including physical activity. We can no longer simply go for a walk, visit the gym or play team sports, while the temptation is to sit at home and spend more time on the couch. However, physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing a 

serious disease

Toothbrush Hygiene

Keep safe by making sure nobody uses each other’s toothbrushes and that they are stored well away from everybody else’s toothbrush. The damp environment of a toothbrush is ideal for spreading viruses. Use separate toothpaste as well.

Continue with Your Normal Oral Care Routine

Sticking to every day routines is important while self-isolating and particularly your dental maintenance routine. Make sure you continue to brush at least twice a day and floss once-a-day. If you 

wish, use a mouthwash for 30 seconds as this can slightly reduce the risk of spreading viruses.

Watch Your Diet

It’s a time when it’s tempting to indulge in snacks and Netflix, but try to limit your consumption of sugary or acidic foods. Instead, concentrate on eating foods that will boost your immune systems like 

vitamin-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies.

Stay Active

Make sure you have some form of physical activity every day. If you can’t get outside, there are plenty of fun exercise routines online.

Drink plenty of Water

It is easy to become dehydrated and especially if you are fighting an infection. Some medications can reduce saliva flow too, so be sure to drink plenty of plain water.
