Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Here are some tips to help you look after your teeth.
* Brush at least twice a day:- The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums.
* Use fluoridated toothpaste:- Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay.
* Brush thoroughly:- Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes.
* Floss your teeth daily:- Use a slow and gentle half rotator motion.
* Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices:- Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing cavities or caries. Limit sugary foods. Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids.
* Protect your teeth from injury:- Wear a mouth guard when
playing sports.
* Try to save a knocked out tooth:- If possible, hold the tooth back in place while you seek immediate dental advice. If this is not possible, place it in milk or keep it under your tongue and seek dental advice immediately.
* Don’t abuse your tooth:- If you use them to crack nuts, remove bottle tops or rip open packaging, you risk chipping or even fracturing your tooth.
* Regular check-ups with your dentist:- You should not postpone your dentist visit if you have a dental problem such as a toothache or bleeding gums.

You can help prevent tooth decay by following these tips:

Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
Clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaner.
Eat nutritious and balanced meals and limit snacking.
Check with your dentist about the use of supplemental fluoride, which strengthens your teeth, and about use of dental sealants (a plastic protective coating) applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (where decay often starts) to protect them from decay.
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral examination.

Inlays and onlays
Inlays and onlays are a type of tooth restoration that grant a stronger reparative solution to tooth damages and decay. The difference between these kind of restoration and tooth fillings consists in the application process; fillings are moulded directly on a tooth during a dental visit while inlays and onlays are fabricated in a lab just to be applied to the damaged part of tooth during a second visit.

An inlay is used when the damage affects the central past of the tooth; an onlay covers a more extended surface which includes all or most of the biting parts of a tooth.

Among the benefits that inlays and onlays grant to a patient, we include the following:
inlays and onlays preserve the tooth in a much better way than a filling or a crown
discolouration of inlays and onlays is less likely than when a tooth coloured resin filling is applied
it’s easier to clean the tooth in comparison to a capped one
an inlay is a better choice than any other alternative if you have a cavity between your teeth as it keeps out bacteria more efficiently
inlays and onlays grant better stability, strength and color than a filling

The procedure of applying an inlay or onlay is carried out during 2 dental visits. During the first dental visit, the dentist will proceed to prepare your tooth and will send a moulded impression of your tooth to a lab in order for the inlay/onlay to be fabricated. Your dentist will also help you to choose the right type of material to be used in the lab; depending on the tooth you’re about to cover with an inlay or only, the choice is to be made between metal, resin or porcelain material.

Once the tooth is prepared, the dentist will apply a temporary material to cover the damaged part of the tooth. This temporary inlay or onlay will be removed and replaced with the permanent one during the second visit.

How can I prevent gum disease?

It is important to remove plaque and bits of food remnants around your teeth as this will cause your gums to inflamed, later getting infected. If you leave plaque on your teeth it will harden into tartar, which can only be removed by the qualified dental team. It is important to keep up your regular appointments so that your teeth can have a thorough cleaning if they need it.
