The qualified dentists and dental hygienists who operate from the Maroochydore clinic, are passionate in promoting healthy oral hygiene habits for patients of all ages. So, whether you need tips and advice as a new parent, or you’re sick of receiving fillings and want to avoid tooth loss in your later years, SunCoast Dental are the place visit. With the correct care and maintenance, your teeth can stay strong and healthy for years to come.
The general rule to follow is to brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Make sure to use a fluoride toothpaste, brush in a circular motion and clean all chewing surfaces of the teeth, including the outside, inside and your tongue. Flossing once a day will provide a more in-depth clean, ensuring any food or plaque stuck in between your teeth is removed.

What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is a common oral condition caused by bacteria in plaque buildup. This can cause your gums to become inflamed, which can make them easily bleed during tooth brushing. Initial symptoms of gum disease also include persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose or shifting teeth. When left untreated overtime, gum disease can cause the inner layer of the gum and bone to pull away from the tooth, resulting in eventual tooth loss. Poor oral hygiene habits, genetics, as well as smoking habits are some of the most common causes for gum disease.
Scale & Polish
To reduce the risk of gum disease, one of the dental hygienists can clean your teeth professionally, otherwise known as a scale and polish. Aimed at removing stubborn plaque and tartar, they make sure to use the latest, state-of-the-art equipment for a deep clean between the gaps of your teeth. From there, they polish the surface of your teeth by using a slightly gritty paste. Doing so can remove stains, have your teeth look brighter and prevent further plaque buildup. For healthier, stronger teeth, organise a scale and polish with one of the dental hygienists today!
