How is your oral health these days?
We all visit the dentist regularly, or if we don’t we should! But do you know how important general dentistry in Berkshire is for your well being? We don’t just mean your oral health either, but your general health and even your self-confidence can take a knock if your teeth are decayed or missing.
At Old Windsor we know that it is very important not only for you to look after your oral care at home, by brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day, but also to have preventative measures offered to you at our dental practice. Starting at an early age, all of us should be taking trips to our dentist every 6 months to a year to have regular oral health checks and professional teeth cleaning.
These visits for regular oral examinations and hygienist appointments are the foundations of good oral hygiene, but why? Because if you do not regularly clean your teeth, bacteria can build up to form plaque. Unfortunately, if don’t get rid of this plaque it can cause tooth decay, gum disease and in some cases, extractions. Prevention, in this case, is definitely better than cure!
