Dental Care
Dental care covers the daily maintenance routines done at home to protect the health of teeth and gums, together with the check-ups and professional care carried out by a dentist at set intervals. Regular dental care is the most effective way to prevent cavities and gum disease.
The foundation of home care consists of regular brushing at least twice a day, using dental floss or an interdental brush, and a balanced diet. In addition, your dentist can give you personalised recommendations on the brushing technique and care products suited to your mouth.
However careful your home care is, periodic dental check-ups allow problems that have been missed to be caught at an early stage. In general, a check-up examination at least once or twice a year, along with professional tartar removal when needed, is recommended.
