Oral Hygiene

How you can maintain good oral hygiene

Oral Health Excellence at SJ Smith & Associates, Whitehaven, Cumbria

Nurturing Your Radiant Smile

Maintaining optimal dental hygiene is the key to a vibrant, healthy smile. By incorporating a consistent dental care routine into your lifestyle, you pave the way for a lifetime of exceptional dental well-being.

Frequent appointments with our dedicated dental hygienists are crucial in ensuring the continual cleanliness, health, and comfort of your teeth and gums.

Our experienced hygienists go beyond mere cleaning; they educate you on the significance of sustaining excellent oral hygiene practices. They provide valuable guidance on cultivating not only a healthy smile but also promoting gum health.

The Importance of Pristine Oral Hygiene

Neglecting your oral health allows harmful bacteria to accumulate in your mouth, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Beyond the immediate pain associated with these infections, they pose a threat to tooth preservation and can contribute to bone degeneration.

Maintaining Your Oral Health Journey

Brush your teeth twice a day.
Floss between your teeth daily.
Moderate alcohol consumption.
Refrain from smoking.
Schedule an annual dental check-up.
Regular consultations with our dental hygienists.
Consider fissure sealants for added protection.

Choose SJ Smith & Associates for a comprehensive approach to oral care, ensuring your smile stays radiant and your oral health remains paramount.

Five Benefits of Oral Hygiene at Poppies Dental Care

1. Bright, Confident Smile

Good oral health ensures a dazzling, confident smile, enhancing your overall appearance and self-esteem.

2. Prevention of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Regular oral care routines and dental check-ups help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, saving you from the discomfort and potential tooth loss associated with these conditions.

3. Improved Overall Health

Oral health is interconnected with overall health. Maintaining a healthy mouth can contribute to lower risks of systemic health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.

4. Fresh Breath

Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, contribute to fresh breath, promoting positive social interactions and self-assurance.

5. Cost Savings

Investing in preventive oral care is more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of neglected oral health. Regular check-ups and cleanings can help identify and address issues early, preventing the need for more extensive and expensive treatments later on.

Choose teeth straightening at SJ Smith & Associates for a transformative journey that goes beyond aesthetics, contributing to improved oral health, functionality, and overall well-being.

     What a wonderful Dentist, so friendly and efficient. Working very long hours and travelling to and from London. My kids and I have just been for our first appointment, fixed a couple of problems in no time, the dental nurse was also fantastic and reassuring. The dentist even took the time to show me how I can help my child look after his teeth whilst he was in the chair. Very happy patients. Thank you

     Used this dentist for the first time as a new patient. The dentist I saw was from London, he comes up for 3 days every week. He was just fabulous and sorted a few problems within no time. His assistant was also very good, and extremely friendly, making sure that I was fine throughout the procedure.
I did have to wait for a while to be seen as they were very busy, but they apologised, and I understand that after the pandemic they are playing catch up. Not their fault!
I would highly recommend this practice.
