The importance of dental hygiene and Airflow treatment - Dentist Surrey

A healthy smile is a happy smile. From a young age, we’ve all been told of the importance of oral hygiene and sticking to a regular, effective teeth cleaning routine. But brushing and flossing at home is only part of the story when it comes to keeping your oral health in tip top condition. A visit to the hygienist at Sync Dental Centres can really help.

What can regular hygiene appointments do for me?

Although it may not seem like it, your oral health also has an impact on your physical and mental wellbeing too. After all, who doesn’t feel better when being able to flash a full, healthy, and sparkling smile? Regular visits to the hygienist keep decay at bay, protecting your teeth and gums from build ups of plaque which ultimately lead to gum disease.

According to the Oral Health Foundation, two in three adults have visible plaque on their teeth. A regular professional clean does wonders in removing this, helping your teeth feel smoother and healthier, and even improving some light staining. At Sync Dental Centres, we like to go further, improving on our hygiene service with revolutionary Airflow treatment.

A stunning smile fit for social media with Airflow

It will come as no surprise that the perfect brilliantly white ‘insta smile’ has never been more popular. Teeth whitening is a highly effective treatment, but for heavily stained teeth, Airflow should be the first point of call.

Airflow treatment uses a winning combination of water, compressed air and bicarbonate, which is carefully sprayed onto the surfaces of your teeth. Every area of the mouth is covered, resulting in unsightly stains and built-up plaque being successfully removed. The safe, pain-free treatment gets rid of yellow and brown-looking teeth in just 30 minutes, leaving you to continue your day with a whiter, brighter, and healthier smile.

Our Top Oral Hygiene Tips

It can be easy to rush or even skip brushing your teeth when you’re in a hurry to get to work or keen to jump into your comfortable bed at the end of the day. However, we can’t say enough how important your oral hygiene at home is for your overall dental health. Here are a few of our top tips:

• Brush for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque before it can cause any decay.
• Use interdental brushes or dental floss to clean between your teeth effectively
• Try to limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks you eat to protect your smile from unnecessary damage
• Attend regular hygiene appointments so your hygienist can check your teeth and gums are healthy and enhance your work at home with a professional clean.
