If there is any legacy that the modern world has given us, it must truly be the art of looking after our teeth and gums. Just take a look at how the market for oral hygiene in Leeds has been flooded with an amazing array of products to help us look after ourselves and let’s not forget that we have our prince, the dentist to save us as well, so how could it ever go wrong….?! Toothbrushes are remarkable these days, from brilliant hand held ones with different angled neck and a array of styles built into the brush-ends to ensure they reach in like never before; this could be also said of electric toothbrushes that also do the most amazing things inside your mouth, whilst you just point it in. The latest is a brush that fires a jet of water below the gum-line for a deep clean. Your daily brushing is also supported by dental floss and small inter-dental brushes to give you a deep clean as well. The main aim of all this is to stop the catalyst of all oral problems, plaque, from getting a foothold in the mouth and toothpastes and mouthwashes are generally concentrated on doing this, while the fluoride in these products helps to re-mineralise the enamel in your teeth at the same time- making them stronger. If that isn’t enough, there is also a massive range of herbal products to choose from to keep your mouth healthy- these are great oral times.

Teeth are an important factor in the way we smile and project ourselves in Leeds and good looking teeth can bolster our confidence in the workplace and socially. At the opposite end of the scale, ugly looking teeth can destroy all of this and one of the most common causes of unsightly teeth is discolouration. There are many factors that can cause this condition, the more obvious ones being staining from foods, drinks and smoking, however, with age, the enamel on the surface of the teeth can fade too- these can generally be rectified with bleaching and by vastly improving our oral hygiene and diet. Tooth decay can also cause the teeth to discolour for as the nerve dies it will darken the tooth and if you have an amalgam filling to counter the decay, it will also cause a greying effect on the rest of the tooth’s surface. Certain drugs can also have a negative effect to the natural hue of your teeth, as can a lack of fluoride, as this re-mineralises the enamel. Dentists can rectify virtually any problem in your teeth these days, including this one so you should get along to the surgery and get advice of how to address it and more importantly, prevent it as well.

Anyone who has had a mouth ulcer in Leeds will know just how irritating they can make your life for a while- they can be quite vicious and uncomfortable. It is also quite difficult to pinpoint what causes them as well. Most dentists will take the usual line that affects most conditions in the mouth and these are generally true; viral fungal, and bacterial conditions, allergies but most attributed are stress, weak immune system and diet. Yes, these can be addressed and dealt with later, but all anyone wants to know is how to get rid of them when they erupt. Your lifestyle will have to alter for the duration and consider the above issues, you should avoid smoking, drinking and ‘hot’ foods, but do get yourself to the dentists or doctors for some drugs. Relief through painkillers like Ibruprofen will most certainly help, but there are also some fantastic mouth rinses and gels such as Bonjella that are specifically designed to give immediate relief and they work fast. Ulcers also have the ability to re-offend, but once bitten- twice prepared so you should be okay, though you do need to sit down and address all of the issues that may have caused the ulcer in the first place. There is also a more sinister issue with ulcers; if they are consistently persistent and refuse to go away after a few weeks, once you have attacked them, you should seek medical advice immediately, for it can indicate oral cancer.

One big social problem that you can suffer from in central Leeds is bad breath; it can cripple you at work and it can cripple you socially and unless someone has ‘kindly’ pointed out that you have a problem, you may be completely ignorant to the issue. Bad breath is bad in itself for all of the above reasons, but it could indicate that you have let things slip and that there are things going wrong in your mouth. Tooth decay and gum disease are two major contenders to halitosis, as is having a condition called dry mouth, but you can only ascertain this with help from your dentist and then address it, maybe with some work in your mouth. But the reasons you got into this state in the first place could have been because of your lifestyle. Bad diet, smoking and excessive drinking, coupled with bad oral hygiene is a recipe for disaster in your mouth, let alone your body and the whole lot mangled together will lead to bad breath. Everything needs to change to at least give your system a chance to recover and stabilise itself and so that your mouth can become healthy again. The way you look after your teeth and gums will also need improvement using various methods and probably the best way you can attack this is to embrace the ways of a hygienist, maybe a nutritionist and possibly someone versed in herbal remedies. It will take hard work but it is beatable.

It is remarkable, and comforting to know that somewhere in the world, someone is sitting down and coming up with more and more ways to help us look after ourselves and if you need any more convincing that this is going on, delve into the world of dentistry and just take a look of the incredible array of cleaning products on the market in Leeds today, designed to look after the health of our teeth and gums. Products evolve, and from tooth pick, to brush, to paste we get to dental floss, mouth-washes and one of the cutest of all- the inter-dental brush. Toothbrushes are great in what they do, but they often fail to remove stuff from between our teeth and this is where the inter-dental brush comes in; being tiny, the brush can clear away any rubbish that may have got stuck. It is the perfect back-up to normal brushing and extremely easy to use- it is the modern tooth pick, only with the tiny brushes, it ensures complete clearance as it goes. Inter-dental brushes are also great for anyone that has been fitted a bridge as they can be worked between the fitting and the gums. They are cheap and you can buy them in packs; they are also re-usable. Every bath cabinet should have some- they may just save your teeth in the long run.

This could sound a little patronising, but do we all really know how to brush our teeth properly in central Leeds? Of course we do, we have the most dynamic atomic powered toothbrushes and pastes and things- which is great of course, but that means we can also become complacent and forget the basics and why we are cleaning our teeth in the first place. Essentially, we are trying to prevent the build-up of plaque and bacteria and brushing our teeth correctly is the first line of defence in this fight. Yes, it is vitally important we get the correct brush first- a brush that will suit our teeth and gums and do all of the work required. Some of the electric ones around are remarkable and take the work out of brushing for you, as are some of the latest hand held ones. The idea with any brush is to get to the important areas around the teeth and gums and not only remove any food deposits but to also clean the enamel of the teeth to remove any bacterial film that may have built up on the surface. It is always useful to brush our teeth in front of a mirror so that we can see what we are doing. Get this basic form of oral hygiene right from the start, and our mouths will be well on the way to a healthy life.

Although people ‘bang on’ about oral hygiene everywhere you go in Leeds- from shops to TV- it is for a reason and if you get it right and do it well, you will not only save a packet by avoiding treatments, but you should keep your teeth for a very long time. Some of us get a little lazy overtime and we often forget how to do things properly, especially if we are doing them over and over again. So from time to time, it is important to refresh your daily oral hygiene program as newer, more remarkable products are coming onto the market all the time. First though, you should pay a visit to your dentist and get an update on how your teeth and gums are and remind yourself the correct way to care for your mouth- your dentist will only be too willing to give you advice as they would rather not have to work on you if things get out of hand. Then with all this information in your head, it’s time to get to the shops and invest in the latest and the best. Your toothbrush is essential and seeing as you will using it at least three times a day, it’s important to get one that is sympathetic to your teeth and gums yet gets the job done; and all of that applies to your toothpaste too. Then you need back-up: inter-dental brushes and flosses are the only way that you can get up close and personal with your teeth and gums in a way your normal toothbrush can’t. And too cap of the cycle of goodness for your mouth, you can’t go wrong by having a suitable mouth-wash in the bathroom cabinet either.

There is nothing worse than talking to someone with bad breath- do you tell them and how do you tell them and if you don’t, are you so sure that you don’t suffer from the problem as well? The thing is, bad breath can ruin you a work and on a social level too in central Leeds, but finding the cause of it isn’t so easy and may come down to a process of elimination- you will need to get the dentist on your side here. The first thing to look at is your oral hygiene and the state of your mouth; bad breath can stem from gum disease or tooth decay- a direct result of poor hygiene. These need to be addressed, you may need treatment from your dentist and then ‘up’ the brushing and flossing each day- that goes for your tongue too, as this is often the cause of bad breath: change your products and include herbal options as well. Then you need to look at your habits and your diet. Smoking and excessive drinking are not friends of a healthy mouth, nor is a poor diet as this will affect your immune system and reduce saliva levels. Once you have given these options a good run for a month, yet still the problem persists, it indicates that the problem is internal, possibly gastric. To overcome this, you will need to run a series of tests with your doctor to get to the bottom of it as generally, bad breath caused by something internal is quite serious.

Whist we endeavour to ensure that our teeth and gums are fresh and healthy, we often overlook our tongues; how often have you woken up after a heavy night out in the city of Leeds to find your tongue a bad shade of brown and tasting atrocious? The thing is, the tongue harbours more bad bacteria as your teeth and gums and left unclean, this is the precise bacteria that can be the cause of bad breath and that helps to promote the acids that lead to tooth decay and gingivitis. Cleaning your tongue is not all that hard a task to do, you can do it with your brush although most toothbrushes come with a tongue scraper on the back of them. There are also many products on the market specifically designed for tongue scraping alone and once brushed along the surface on the tongue, they remove all manner of nasties from food to dead cells. Whilst doing this however, the tongue can get sore; dipping the scraper in a herbal product or therapeutic gel will help soothe the tongue as you clean and afterwards, always rinse you mouth with an anti-bacterial mouth-wash, this will help to keep the tongue fresh and healthy. A pink tongue is a healthy tongue and looking after it in this way will only increase the levels of hygiene in your mouth.

Brushing your teeth daily in central Leeds is probably as important as anything else that you do throughout the day and so it is important that you understand how to do it and put in a lot of effort to ensure the longevity of your teeth. When growing up, you were probably taught to brush up and down as opposed to side-to-side, and then it was gum-tooth-off. That technique is still valid today, although a lot of things have changed for the better when it comes to the type of brush you use, as many are designed to do a lot of the work for you. The bristles for example come in a range of soft to hard to cater for all teeth and gums, then, some brushes are angled and flexible to ensure you approach the teeth at the right angle. But one of the greatest advances in toothbrush technology has come with the electric toothbrush; these certainly do all of the hard work for you as long as you point them in the right direction. Rotary heads are great for swirling around the gums; up and down heads take the technique back to school-day basics; the pulse head brushes are designed to break plaque and tartar- all however work remarkably well and look after the interests of your teeth. With any brush that you choose, they need to be changed regularly in order to maintain the standards required to protect your teeth, most are colour coded and fade when it’s time for a change. Also, there is a greater need to ensure that your tongue is brushed as well- most brushes come with the facility to do so.
