Oral Hygiene Counselling

Oral hygiene counselling at Smilesmith Dentistry is a personalized, empowering service dedicated to equipping you with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective daily home care. While regular professional cleanings are essential, the majority of your oral health maintenance happens at home, and the right techniques make all the difference. During a counselling session, our dental professionals will assess your current oral hygiene routine and identify any areas where improvements can be made.

We provide tailored, practical instruction on optimal brushing techniques, demonstrating the correct angle and motion for thorough plaque removal without damaging gums. We guide you through effective flossing methods, explain the benefits of interdental brushes or water flossers, and discuss the appropriate use of fluoride toothpaste and therapeutic mouthwashes. Furthermore, we emphasize the significant impact of diet on oral health, advising on cavity-preventing food choices and healthy snacking habits. This personalized guidance empowers you to take active control of your oral health, preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of your natural teeth and any dental restorations.
