Home Care Advice

Maintaining a good oral care routine at home is as important as visiting your dentist for regular check-ups.

The DNTL Smiles & Wellness team will always strive to advise and guide you on how best to maintain the health of your gums and teeth.

We have put together some easy tooth-brushing tips for you to follow and look after your oral health:

• Brush your teeth at the beginning and end of every day for at least two minutes.
• Wait at least half an hour after eating to brush your teeth.
• When choosing a toothbrush, opt for medium or soft bristles.
• Aim the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gum line and brush your teeth and gums in a circular motion.
• Brush the inside, outside and tops of your teeth.
• Supervise children aged six or under when they brush their teeth.
• Interdental cleaning using TePe brushes (also known as bristle brushes) is effective in removing plaque between teeth.

If you would like further support in maintaining your oral health, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our hygienist, who can provide additional guidance. We also have information on the most suitable dental products to meet your needs.
