It is important to note that if you want to optimise your individual oral health, we encourage you to follow our preventative steps and recommendations below.

Tooth decay is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and its treatment often requires complex dental procedures.

Tooth decay occurs when the acids found in plaque erode the natural enamel found on the teeth.

Periodontal disease is a serious, progressive condition which can cause tooth loss, gum recession and jawbone recession.

Periodontal disease is caused by the toxins found in plaque and can lead to serious health problems in other parts of the body.

Removing plaque and calculus (tartar) from the surface of the tooth using a toothbrush, and from the interdental areas using dental floss, is an excellent way to stave off periodontal problems.

Halitosis is usually caused by bacteria on the tongue, food particles on or between the teeth, decayed teeth, and periodontal disease.

The bacteria can be removed with regular brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and rinsing.

Staining or the yellowing of teeth can be caused by a wide variety of factors such as smoking, coffee and tea.

The more regularly these staining agents are removed from the teeth using brushing and flossing techniques, the less likely it is that the stains will become permanent.
