Most people know the basics of oral health maintenance: brush in the morning and at night, use dental floss, don’t eat too much sugar and visit your dentist in Beaconsfield regularly. But, what many of our patients here at Garden View don’t know is that there are specific types of foods that can help maintain good oral health.

In fact, the foods we eat play a huge role in oral health preservation. After all, nutrition is important for each of the trillions of cells in our bodies, including the cells that make up the teeth and gums and our aim is to keep them in the best condition possible.

What should I eat?

Your dentist in Beaconsfield will always recommend that eating most fresh raw vegetables is very good for your teeth and oral health. The act of chewing produces saliva and lots of chewing is required to break down fresh raw vegetables. Maybe surprisingly, celery is a great food for this because as we chew celery, it will break apart into fibrous strands that help clean teeth.

Another surprise food that could help is cheese! It is very low in sugar and enamel-eating acid, but is high in calcium. Cheese also contains casein, a type of protein present in milk. It has shown an ability to prevent tooth-decaying bacteria from sticking to teeth. Obviously, your dentist in Beaconsfield will encourage eating cheese in healthy portions, due to its high fat content.

You are probably thinking that cheese was a surprise choice, well how about gargling with sesame oil! A controlled blind study showed that using sesame oil as a mouthwash was very effective. In fact, the study showed that it was as effective at reducing plaque as gargling with a chemical found in mouthwash.

Are sugar free alternatives a good choice?

Although there are few great health claims made about artificial sweeteners, your dentist in Beaconsfield will confirm that xylitol can be helpful in maintaining dental health. Xylitol is a sugar replacement that is used in sugar-free chewing gum. Xylitol helps stop the production of enamel-damaging acids that are formed when plaque bacteria absorbs sugar. Chewing gum can also help remove plaque from your teeth.

At Garden View, we are firm believers that prevention is better than cure. That’s why we encourage our patients to visit the dental practice for regular cleanings and check-ups at least twice a year. Our experienced dentist in Beaconsfield is dedicated to informing our patients of the best techniques to maintain good oral health at home.

Prevention, with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, not only prevents bigger problems in the long-run, but also means avoiding expensive and invasive procedures. A simple check-up every six months or so can do wonders for your health and budget.

Oral health care habits

A thorough dental care routine is the basis for healthy teeth and gums. If you brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once a day, you will keep your teeth and gums healthy for longer. However, remember, that even the most diligent brushers and flossers need to visit their dentist in Beaconsfield every few months for a thorough check-up and cleaning.

Your dentist can remove bacteria and plaque build-up in hard to reach areas between your teeth and beneath your gum line. We’re also keen todiscuss your daily homecare routine and provide specialised tips and customised techniques to make it more effective.

Gum disease: the invisible enemy

Early gum disease does not tend to show many physical signs. It is neither painful nor uncomfortable and if you fail to visit the dentist, you will probably miss it. Sometimes teeth affected by gum disease look healthy, but your dentist in Beaconsfield will be able to see the early signs of gum disease and prevent it from spreading.

Your dentist will be able to clean your teeth thoroughly and treat gum disease at an early stage before it creates gum abscesses, gum sensitivity, redness and bleeding. If you fail to see your dentist on time, treatment can become more difficult. In rare cases, patients may lose their teeth and gum tissue.

Taking care of your teeth is our job and our passion, and as such we do our best to offer a wide variety of preventative dental services in Beaconsfield. To book an appointment, contact us today.

Preventative dentistry offers an inclusive approach to oral health focusing on prevention and overall health, not just treatment. Preventative dentistry is particularly important for children, whose teeth, mouth and gums are still developing. Regular visits to the dentist for cleanings and dental check-ups, help discover any potential problems and treat them before they become more complicated and costly. More importantly, having a healthy mouth helps children maintain better oral habits, nutrition and overall health.

At Garden View, we believe that prevention is better than cure and that’s why we urge our patients to bring their children to the practice from an early age. Our Beaconsfield dentist will examine their teeth thoroughly and will ensure that they won’t suffer from untreated tooth decay or gum disease. For all these reasons, we offer a number of preventative treatments tailored for young children, such as fluoride applications and dental sealants.

Fluoride treatment

Fluoride helps children develop healthy and strong teeth, which is why many types of toothpastes contain fluoride as an armour against tooth bacteria that can harm your enamel. Tooth bacteria love to feed on sugary foods and then produce acid, which eats into tooth enamel, opening the way for decay.

Your dentist in Beaconsfield will apply fluoride directly on your children’s teeth, to help prevent cavities and tooth decay. Fluoride treatment is highly recommended for children who may be at a higher risk of developing cavities.

Fluoride treatments are performed at the dental office and are generally very quick. The fluoride may be in the form of a solution, gel, foam or varnish. After the treatment, your child’s teeth will also be more resistant to acid, which prevents further decay. Fluoride treatments should be repeated every few months in order to remain effective.

Dental sealants

Dental sealants on the other hand, are thin, plastic coatings, painted on the fissures (chewing surfaces) of the back teeth in order to prevent bacteria from entering into the enamel. When dried, the sealant forms a solid shield over the tooth enamel preventing tooth decay. Sealants typically last up to 10 years, but they need to be checked for chipping or wearing by your dentist in Beaconsfield regularly.

It is impossible to over-estimate the true value of good dental health, and the importance of caring for your teeth. Not only can poor oral health affect your appearance, it can have a serious effect on your overall health. You may be surprised to learn that more teeth are lost to gum disease than tooth decay. Gum disease has been shown to have clear links to an increased risk in the development of heart disease and strokes and even, diabetes.

As a society, we are all eating a lot more sugar than we have in the past, and a growing number of children are now having their baby teeth removed due to dental decay. Good dental habits are best started when children are young. Teaching them to brush their teeth regularly, and bringing them to a dentist in Beaconsfield as soon as their first teeth appear, are two good ways to ensure that they don’t need to suffer all the painful and distressing effects of tooth decay from an early age.

Giving you plenty to smile about

We all know that we have to have our hair cut regularly if we want to keep it looking its best and your teeth need regular attention too. When you attend a check-up with your dentist in Beaconsfield, or have your teeth cleaned, scaled and polished by our dental hygienist you will be ensuring that your teeth and gums remain as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Not only that but your dentist will be looking for signs of more serious problems that may affect your overall health in the longer term.

From root canals to dental implants, we can deal with all your dental needs to treat or repair your teeth and keep them looking good, and you feeling great about your teeth. If you are a nervous patient, we have that covered too. We understand that there are many reasons why you may have a fear of dentists and we will do everything possible to make you feel as calm and relaxed as possible. If you are afraid of injections, our dental Wand uses computer-guided technology, which is specially designed to administer local anaesthetic gently and with minimal pain.
