Oral hygiene is still a major problem in the UK. Thousands and thousands of people are still neglecting the health of their teeth and gums through poor oral hygiene. Why is this? We at Smilecraft<\/strong> think that this is in part due to the nature of our busy lives, but also in part because people think they\u2019re invincible and that things just won\u2019t happen to them. However, we see more and more people coming to us with disastrous decay and gory gums and it\u2019s clear the problem isn\u2019t getting better, it\u2019s probably getting worse. So, why is dental hygiene Stevenage<\/a> on the decline? And what can we be doing about it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Oral hygiene<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we go much further it\u2019s probably worth us breaking down what in fact we\u2019re referring to when we talk about oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oral hygiene or dental hygiene Stevenage<\/strong> is the way in which you take care of your teeth and gums, brushing, flossing etc. Your oral hygiene works pretty much the same as your personal hygiene in that, if neglected, dirt builds up with unwanted bacteria and then all sorts of problems start to appear, infections can happen and other unpleasant things..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we don\u2019t take care of our dental hygiene Stevenage<\/strong> there are a couple of really common side effects which can develop, gum disease and tooth decay. Neither of these are desirable and both can lead to the loss of teeth if they\u2019re left to run riot in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a fun fact we bet you didn\u2019t know. Most people think that losing teeth is just a part of old age, but guess what\u2026 it isn\u2019t! There\u2019s actually no biological reason for us to lose our teeth as we get older and so actually if you take care of your teeth now, you could be one of the lucky ones still flashing a full natural set well in their 80s!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can imagine you are well aware of the basics by now\u2026 brush twice daily, use dental floss and avoid sugar where you can, and if you aren\u2019t aware then maybe it\u2019s time to look up some best practices in oral care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are bonus points you can earn in caring for your oral hygiene if you decide to take advantage of our hygienist facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first it may seem the hygienist can feel like an expense, but they\u2019re amazing at getting your teeth and gums back to good health. Only a hygienist can give you the deep scale and polish needed to reset your dental hygiene and put you in a place to really build from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You only get one set of teeth, or you only get one set of adult teeth! Your smile is going to be with you for your whole life, but only if you take care of it. It doesn\u2019t take a great deal to really guarantee some good health for your teeth so why wait, start getting your smile super healthy today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
