Sydney Cosmetic Dentists Encourage Prevention Measures

"Many Cosmetic Dental Treatments should be long lasting and even whitening should last longer than it does. The main problem is that customers can do a lot more to prevent damage between visits to the dentist", said Dr Jim Ironside, Prosthodontist at Ironside Advanced Dental.

"Long term damage can be prevented simply by having good oral hygiene", continued Dr Ironside, "Brushing, flossing and rinsing twice a day will ensure your tooth whitening treatments last longer and you remove plaque that can cause significant tooth decay"

That is one step that can be taken to prevent damage to a patients cosmetic dental work, another is by watching your diet. "Tooth decay is exacerbated by the food you eat. Sugary and starchy foods increase acids in your mouth. If you have poor oral hygiene then these acids can eventuate in tooth decay" says Dr Ironside. "With regards to Tooth Whitening; smoking, drinking tea, coffee and red wine can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the treatment".

The last step is to get professional help on a periodic basis. "Your dental hygienist is able to give you advice on prevention and put you on a maintenance program. They can also identify any issues. With our Microscope Dentistry, we can identify issues early and make sure that your cosmetic treatments are not compromised"
