Leeds dentists advise patients on how to keep their teeth as healthy as possible

Dentists are the place to go in order to get the best advice about how to take care of your teeth. Having excellent oral hygiene will ensure that you can eat, drink, smile and even talk in comfort. Your mouth is a complex, finely honed organism in which all the parts are meant to work together in order for it to function. Allowing parts of it to become unhealthy can mean that the activities you take for granted are jeapordised.
There are a number of simple ways in which you can take the best possible care of your mouth though. The first and most important in many ways is that you brush your teeth at least twice a day and again after meals if you feel it is necessary. This is so that plaque does not build up and cause your teeth to start decaying. You ought to brush for about three minute, making sure that you are covering all the areas of your mouth.
Once you have brushed, don’t forget to floss. This is essential in removing the plaque which can hide between your teeth. It might be a little painful to begin with if you have not done it before but you should persist so that your teeth and gums can stay healthy.
Diet can play and important part in the health of your mouth too. Plaque is produced by all foods but the most is produced when you eat or drink sugary or starchy substances. It is best to cut down on these things and eat things like cheese afterwards which can help to remove the sugar and starch from the teeth.
Finally, get into the habit of visiting your Leeds dentist every six months so that your mouth can be checked by a specialist.
