ORAL HYGIENE
It is important to have your teeth professionally cleaned by your dentist or oral hygienist at least twice a year. If you suffered from previously treated periodontal disease, have your teeth cleaned professionally every three months.
​
The main cause of periodontal disease and tooth decay is bacterial plaque. Plaque forms continuously on your teeth and is a sticky colourless film. It can be made more visible with the use of "disclosing" dyes. By removing plaque daily, you can prevent the damage associated with periodontal disease and decay.
​
Daily plaque control is very important! Periodontal disease is the major cause of adult tooth loss. It affects three out of every four adults. Replacing lost teeth is the most expensive form of dental treatment. By making an investment of time into your daily plaque removal, you may be able to avoid thousands of rands of replacement dentistry. Usually only ten to fifteen minutes a day is required to fully cleanse your mouth of these harmful bacteria. We teach our patients proper oral hygiene methods to equip them with the prevention of oral problems.
