Why oral health is so important
Dental decay is the leading chronic illness in the UK - and it’s entirely preventable! A proper oral health routine can prevent caries, gum disease, and tooth loss. If you DON’T practise proper oral hygiene, it can cause serious health issues like diabetes, mouth cancer and heart disease.
Regular hygiene appointments will help to keep your smile healthy, and are especially important during orthodontic treatment. That’s because orthodontic appliances can create hard-to-reach areas for plaque to build-up, so proper hygiene is increasingly important.
