It’s true that regular visits to the dental hygienist are essential for maintaining healthy gums. However, good oral health starts at home.
You should be brushing and flossing twice a day, and drinking plenty of water to wash away food particles. A healthy and low-sugar diet is also an important component when it comes to good oral health.
Here at Dentistry at Holme, we can create a tailored plan to improve your oral hygiene and advise on the kinds of food and drink to avoid. We can also support you in quitting habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, to give yourself the best possible chance of avoiding gum disease.
