Oral Health Maintenance

Keep your whole mouth healthy and help prevent tooth decay and gum disease with regular oral health maintenance.

Plaque Control

Effective plaque control is important for overall oral health and helps keep bad breath, gingivitis, and tooth decay at bay. You can achieve plaque control by:

  • Brushing twice daily.
  • Flossing, and using interdental brushes or water jets.
  • Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash.
  • Reducing foods and drinks that are high in sugar (bacteria feeds on sugar).

 

Regular dental check-ups and professional cleaning also play a role in plaque control.

Lifestyle Choices

Some lifestyle choices can contribute to poor oral health. These include the excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. In addition to these obvious culprits, stress is another lifestyle factor that can impact negatively on your oral health. Bruxism – teeth grinding – caused by stress can lead to tooth wear, fractures and jaw pain. Chronic stress can also weaken the immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off infections like including gum disease and mouth sores.

Aim for favourable lifestyle choices to optimise your oral health. A balanced diet rich in in nutrients and minerals for healthy teeth and gums, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and reduced stress are important for overall wellbeing, including your oral health.

Regular Check-ups and Professional Cleaning

Did you know that tooth decay, infection, and gum disease don’t always cause symptoms and can often go unnoticed? Dental problems generally don’t fix themselves and leaving them too long can lead to premature tooth loss, the spread of infection, or the need for more complex and expensive treatments.

Regular check-ups can detect these problems before they result in significant damage.

Having a professional clean during your check-up helps remove stubborn plaque and dental calculus (sometimes called tartar or scale) that can cause tooth decay and infection.

At White Rabbit Dental, we pride ourselves on taking the time you need for your treatment. We deliver a good clean – not a fast clean! We use Swiss EMS Airflow technology and gentle techniques to give you a professional teeth cleaning experience that is comfortable and thorough.
