Articles Deterring Dental Dilemmas in the Heart of London

How can we help?

Even the mildest dental drama can get you down and at Harley Street Dental Studio we believe that prevention is better than cure. Many dental dilemmas are completely preventable, so here are some tips to keep dental disasters at bay:

Book a check-up

Check-ups are our chance to keep an eye out for developing problems and chat to you about oral health matters. It’s really important to keep up to date with your routine check-ups to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease and also to keep your teeth clean, healthy and strong. We strongly recommend 6-9 monthly appointments for adults and children. If you do have toothache, swollen gums or any other dental problems in the meantime, don’t hesitate to get in touch, as it is always best to treat problems as early as possible. We also recommend regular dental hygiene sessions.

Clean your teeth

This might sound obvious, but surveys show that many people don’t brush their teeth twice a day for the recommended time. We urge all our patients to spend 2 minutes every morning and evening giving their teeth a thorough clean. Take care to cover every tooth surface, clean your tongue and use fluoride toothpaste. Don’t forget to change your brush or brush head every 3-4 months.

Watch your diet

Diet has an important role to play when it comes to oral health. Sugar consumption is particularly important, so moderate your intake and try to avoid sugary drinks and sweet treats, especially between meals.

Protect your teeth

If you play sport or participate in fighting activities, it’s advisable to wear a mouth guard. We offer custom-made mouth guards for enhanced protection and greater comfort. Wearing a mouth guard helps to reduce the risk of injuries, such as chipped and dislodged teeth.
