Just about all oral diseases, from periodontitis to gingivitis, are asymptomatic in their early stages. This means that prevention is always more effective than cure. You can help prevent oral diseases by following these simple steps.

1. Brush your teeth and floss every day – this will prevent decay, periodontal disease and plaque build-up. It is also advisable to brush after eating sweet foods.
2. Fluoride – always use a toothpaste that contains fluoride. If you’re not sure which toothpaste is best, have a chat with your dentist from Esthetic Dental Clinic.
3. Avoid smoking – smoking not only causes staining on your teeth, but it can also cause oral diseases.
4. Visit the dentist regularly – we recommend that you make a professional hygiene and exam appointment at Esthetic Dental Clinic twice a year.
