Oral Hygiene

Oral Hygiene is of prime importance to reduce tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath but, also for our whole body health.

“Healthy teeth = Healthy body” is a good motto to remember.

Did you know that the relationship between poor oral health and systemic disease has become a well-documented issue?

Your eyes may be the window to the soul, but your mouth is a window to your body’s health.

The state of your oral health can offer lots of clues about your overall health. Oral health and overall health are more connected than you might realise. Links have been made to Cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, poor blood sugar control in diabetics, low birth weight pre-term babies and a variety of other conditions.

Pathogenic bacteria from bleeding, inflamed gums can enter the bloodstream when drinking, eating or brushing and spread to other parts of the body. Hence, the influx of oral microbiome research and dental probiotic products.

Our aim is for the prevention of dental disease and education in your oral health so as to minimise any further dental procedures.

Preventing dental disease isn’t something done for you….it is done by you with our help!
