The Best Oral Hygiene Care
IN WERRIBEE
Good oral hygiene can keep a lot of dental problems at bay, including tooth decay and gum disease. However, there’s far more to oral hygiene than brushing and flossing your teeth each day. At Wyndham Dental Solutions, our dedicated dentists will help patients maintain good oral hygiene both at appointments and between them.
Our hygienist focuses on preventative care and will assess the condition of your gums and teeth and also advise you on how to prevent oral diseases. Our Wyndham Dental Solutions hygienists are also fully qualified and trained to carry out professional dental cleaning in order to maintain your optimal oral health.
Why Oral Hygiene
MATTERS?
Prevention is always better than cure, and most dental conditions are often preventable! Oral hygiene plays a key role in making sure your dental health is safeguarded.
Over time, tartar builds up on your teeth. As regularly as you brush and floss, a professional clean is needed to remove hardened oral bacteria. If your oral health is neglected for a period of time, bad breath, gum disease and tooth decay are some of the most common dental conditions that arise. Visiting your oral hygienist every 6 months will play a big role in keeping your oral health in check.
What Causes
POOR ORAL HEALTH?
Poor oral health can be caused by various factors, including:
• Smoking & tobacco use

Tips for Maintaining Oral Hygiene
AT HOME
There are a few simple steps you can follow at home to make sure you’re maintaining good oral hygiene:
No.1
Brush twice daily
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid damaging your teeth. Maintain a 45-degree angle while gently brushing back and forth.
No.2
Floss daily
Avoid snapping floss down between your teeth. Contour gently around your tooth, and gently slide up and down, reaching just below the gum line. We have a variety of dental floss holders and cleaning devices available at Wyndham Dental Solutions for you to choose from if you’re having trouble flossing!
No.3
Eat a balanced diet
Limit your sugary food intake. Foods with more fibre and less fat, like cereal, fruits, leafy greens and sugar-free yoghurt are ideal. Rinse out your mouth with fluoride mouthwash after meals to help kill germs and strengthen your teeth.
No.4
Schedule professional cleanings
The usual time period between appointments is 6 months. Be sure to schedule a regular appointment with our oral hygienist so you can better look after your dental health.
Schedule Your Oral Hygiene Appointment
Practicing dental hygiene isn’t just about your teeth. Often, your oral health is an indicator of your overall health and can be used to intercept potential health conditions. Research suggests that conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney health and dementia can all lead to poor oral health. A regular dental check will help root out any lurking, unidentified signs of severe health conditions early and so we recommend scheduling regular visits with our experienced Dental Hygienists to intercept problems early and keep your gums and teeth healthy!
