Hello Readers!

With Easter holidays just passed, inevitably we have enjoyed a few more sweet treats than usual. This month our dental hygienist, Simin, will answer some of the most important (and often surprising) questions about oral health, highlighting why regular hygiene visits and modern treatments like Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) can make a real difference to your smile and overall health.

Dr Rosh, your local Dentist

‍

Q: Is it worse for teeth to eat lots or chocolate at once, or small amounts all day?

A: Surprisingly, it's far more damaging to snack on sugary treats throughout the day. Every time you eat sugar, your teeth are under acid attack for up to an hour. Frequent snacking means your teeth never recover, this applies to both adults and children. It's better to enjoy treats in one sitting, ideally after a meal. If your routine has slipped, a hygiene visit can help remove harmful build-up and get both adult and younger smiles back on track.

‍

Q: Why is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) becoming the gold standard for dental cleaning?

A: GBT is a game-changer in dental hygiene. Using advanced EMS airflow technology, we gently remove the harmful biofilm (bacteria) that causes decay and gum disease, before it leads to bigger problems. We even use a special dye to show exactly where bacteria are hiding, so nothing is missed. Patients often find it more comfortable and effective than traditional cleaning. It's ideal for maintaining healthy gums and a brighter smile, especially if you haven't had a hygiene visit in a while.

‍

Q: Could gum disease possible be affecting more than just my mouth?

A: Absolutely, and this often surprises patients. Gum disease (periodontitis) is linked to serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation throughout the body. Bleeding gums are an early warning sign and should never be ignored. The good news is that with regular hygiene visits and the right care, it can be managed or even prevented. Looking after your gums isn't just about your smile, it's an investment in your long-term health.
