When you smile, the world smiles with you. Here at our Liskeard dental practice, we love nothing more than creating healthy, happy smiles that you\u2019ll love for years to come. Whether cosmetic, general or restorative, we work to make your teeth our top priority. That\u2019s why we\u2019re a trusted name in dentistry, and why we\u2019re proud to serve generations of families at our dental practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to looking after your teeth<\/a>, we\u2019ve noticed our patients asking us the same kinds of questions over the years \u2013 from whether flossing really makes a difference, to which type of toothpaste is the best to buy. We\u2019re dedicating this post to these common questions \u2013 so if you want that healthy, happy smile, read on to find out what our expert Dentists have to say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What toothpaste and\ntoothbrush should I use?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Dentists\ndo like to make recommendations on an individual basis, but it\u2019s worth saying\nthat a softer toothbrush is generally better for your smile, as it\u2019s more\ngentle on gums while still being effective on your teeth. In terms of which\ntoothbrush brand to buy, or whether to choose electric or manual, again we\nwould advise you on this during an appointment at our dental practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toothpaste can be more complicated, as there are different varieties \u2013 not only are we seeing more and more whitening options, but we\u2019re seeing charcoal, sensitive and even different flavoured types on the market. Again, book in with our dental practice, and we can talk you through which options could work for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should I use mouthwash?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all patients at our dental practice like to use mouthwash – and if you’re cleaning your teeth as recommended, you shouldn’t really need it. However, we know that some people enjoy the feeling of using mouthwash, which can help freshen your breath and help make your teeth feel clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to incorporate mouthwash into your dental\nroutine, our Dentists\nrecommend using one with fluoride in it, which could benefit your teeth. Though\nit can be tempting to swill a mouthful after brushing, it could actually rinse\naway the fluoride from your toothpaste. So, our Dentists suggest using it at a different time in\nthe day – like after lunch, for example. It’s also important that you wait at\nleast half an hour before eating or drinking when you’ve used it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I make sure I\u2019m looking after my smile properly?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of ways you\u2019ll know you\u2019re taking good care of your teeth:

– Regular brushing and flossing \u2013 2 times a day for 2 minutes
– Appointments with a Dentist or Hygienist, as recommended by our dental practice
– Eating a balanced diet, and cutting down on sugary foods and drinks
– Reducing the amount you smoke and drink (or stopping, if applicable)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book with our expert Dentists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
