Brushing is the best way to cleanse your mouth and remove potentially harmful bacteria and leftover scraps of food from your mouth. We recommend Sonicare for effective and simple brushing.

Why is brushing so important?

Brushing is important because it is the best way of getting rid of unwanted bacteria and food debris from your mouth, which helps to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease. If you don’t brush your teeth, left over food and bacteria combine with saliva and this results in the development of plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance, which lies along the gum line and clings to the surfaces of the teeth; it is the main cause of cavities and enamel wear and gum disease.

Brushing is also a really effective way of keeping your teeth looking shiny, bright and white. When you brush, this polishes your teeth and ensures they feel smooth and look healthy.

We recommend brushing twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed, using fluoride toothpaste.
