Great oral health isn’t an accident-it’s a habit. Consistent home care, backed by professional support, keeps teeth strong, gums healthy, breath fresh, and smiles bright. At Oaks Dental Practice in Ruislip, we make Oral Hygiene In Ruislip simple, personalised, and effective for every age.
Why oral hygiene matters
Plaque builds up every day. If it’s not removed, it hardens into tartar, irritates gums, and can lead to decay, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. Regular home care plus a Dental Examination In Ruislip helps catch little issues before they become big (and costly) ones.
Your easy daily routine (that actually works)
Brush
- Twice a day for two minutes.
- Electric toothbrush with a small round head often removes more plaque.
- Fluoride toothpaste (spit, don’t rinse) to strengthen enamel.
Clean between teeth
- Floss or—better yet—use interdental brushes sized for your gaps.
- Do it once a day to stop gum bleeding and reduce bad breath.
Tongue & rinse
- Gently clean your tongue to remove odour-causing bacteria.
- Mouthwash can help, but use it at a different time to brushing to avoid washing away fluoride.
Diet & habits
- Keep sugary/acidic snacks and drinks to mealtimes.
- Sip water often.
- Don’t smoke-your gums (and breath) will thank you.
If something doesn’t feel right, book a Dentist Check In Ruislip promptly-early attention prevents complications.
Professional support that turbo-charges your routine
Even the best brushers leave some plaque behind. That’s where our hygiene team shines:
- Dental Hygiene Clinic In Ruislip – thorough scale and polish to remove plaque/tartar and brighten your smile.
- Oral Hygienist In Ruislip – personalised coaching on brushing technique, interdental tools, sensitivity, and gum care.
- Private Dental Hygienist In Ruislip – flexible appointment times, tailored maintenance plans, and stain removal for coffee/tea/wine lovers.
Combine routine hygiene with a periodic Dental Examination In Ruislip for the best long-term results.
Special tips for common situations
- Braces & Invisalign: Use interdental brushes and a water flosser; extra clean around attachments and wires.
- Implants & crowns: Superfloss/interdental brushes around fixtures; regular reviews keep tissues healthy.
- Kids: Help brush until at least age 7; use a pea-sized fluoride toothpaste; limit juices and sticky snacks.
- Dry mouth: Sip water, sugar-free xylitol gum, fluoride rinses-speak to us for tailored options.
How we personalise your plan
At your hygiene visit, we’ll:
- Map plaque and gum health,
- Remove deposits comfortably (ultrasonic + hand instruments),
- Polish and, if helpful, apply fluoride or desensitisers,
- Set a home routine you’ll actually keep, with the right tools and timings for you.
