How you can prevent Decay

Decay is the one word no one wishes to hear when visiting the Dentist. Caused by the build up of plaque, a colourless bacterium which forms on teeth; Decay can result in the death of a tooth and significantly affect your well-being.

Oral decay is easily prevented, if good dental hygiene is carried out. We recommend the following cavity prevention steps;


” Brush your teeth twice daily (morning and night) with a soft rounded bristle toothbrush

” Brush up and down in a circular motion, gently brushing your gums

” Floss once daily to remove plaque and food caught between teeth

” Limit sugars and starches within the diet

” Utilise a toothpaste with added fluoride

Another crucial step, in achieving healthy teeth and gums, is to attend routine dental check-ups. Between these consultations, if you experience any oral pain or discomfort please make an appointment with us straight away. By amending your oral condition early, we can prevent further deterioration of the tooth and possibly limit the amount of treatment required. During your dental examination please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding your oral health
