Eat smart. At every age, a healthy diet is essential to healthy teeth and gums. A well-balanced diet of whole foods — including grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products — will provide all the nutrients you need for healthy teeth and gums. Some researchers believe that omega-3 fats, the kind found in fish, may also reduce inflammation, thereby lowering risk of gum disease.
Hygienists are specially trained to provide dental health education, remove plaque and tartar by scaling and polishing teeth, treating and helping to prevent gum disease. Even if your teeth and gums are healthy, a regular visit to the hygienist is a great way of ensuring that they remain disease, problem and stain free. We pride ourselves on spending quality time treating individuals in a caring, professional manner, providing a thorough yet gentle approach. We understand many people are often anxious or nervous about treatment and may suffer with sensitive teeth. These can be just some of the reasons why you avoid seeing the hygienist. With our friendly and calming surrounding we will ensure that your time spent with us, is as pleasant as possible. At Mint Dental Hygiene we treat all patients individually and tailor our treatments around your specific needs. Read extra details at scale and polish.
Teeth whitening guide. Do you need to maintain healthy teeth and gums? Here are some tricks: Use Activated Charcoal: Activated charcoal is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to naturally whiten your teeth. Crush up one charcoal tablet into a powder. Dip your clean wet toothbrush into it, and brush your teeth as you normally do. One simple strategy can help maintain white teeth: brush. Brush at least twice daily. Even better, brush after every meal and snack. Brushing helps prevent stains and yellow teeth, especially at the gum line. Both electric and sonic toothbrushes may be superior to traditional toothbrushes in removing plaque and surface stains on teeth. Also, don’t forget to floss and use an antiseptic mouthwash daily.
Watch Out for Sweet Medicine: Children’s medications can be flavored and sugary. If they stick on the teeth, the chance of cavities goes up. Children on medications for chronic conditions such as asthma and heart problems often have a higher decay rate. Remind your child to brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste for a full two minutes which not only fights cavities and strengthens teeth, but also gives older kids the confidence of having fresh breath. A power toothbrush might make brushing more fun for preteens. Flossing is extremely important at this point as most permanent teeth have erupted and cleaning between them will help prevent cavities and keep their mouth fresh. Encourage children who play sports to wear a mouth guard to protect their teeth from injuries. Make sure kids who wear braces use a power brush and floss very thoroughly to avoid white spots on teeth when braces come off.
