Most of us find flossing very demanding and dull. Some even hate flossing as it can be difficult to reach the back teeth, can have bleeding and discomfort or we can even think it is pointless. Mouthwash marketing strategies claiming to kill bacterias can contribute to perpetuate certain misunderstandings about cleaning our mouth. This can lead us to conclude that if there is no food stuck between my teeth or if I rinse my mouth with one of them, I need no floss. That is very wrong and dangerous. The surfaces of our teeth which are facing another tooth (interdentally) are large and hidden. The brush will never touch this area to remove the bacterias and the mouthwash will not kill the bacterias from these surfaces. We need to touch them within 24 hours to avoid the organisation of bacterial plaque and subsequent gum disease. Compared to all demands of healthy lifestyle, flossing is not a big deal. The lack of habit is the main problem. If you have difficulties holding the floss, try to use mounted flosses or interdental brushes. Please keep in mind that flossing is easy to do and easy not do do, its your choice! https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  It may sound like a cliche, but we really care about our patients.
Caring is not just being nice or friendly, it is a deep empathy with the person who is sitting in the dental chair. We try to connect with every patient as if he or she were our only patient. We will never push the patient in anyway whatsoever. We always individualise the treatment to the patient’s unique conditions and needs. We value our patients and we’re looking forward to seeing each of you again soon. Phone 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  A friend is more than just someone we share common values, it is someone who accepts us as we are and helps us to enhance our understanding of what it means to live a fuller life.
We are always open to build strong relationships with our patients, seeking to help them achieve health, confidence and comfort. The relation between patient and dentist is more than just a commercial exchange between service provider and user. The great majority of our new patients are friends or family members of our current patients. Word of mouth tells us that we are on the right path. We value our patients and we’re looking forward to seeing each of you again soon. Phone 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  We believe that authentic trust is built not only on the competence of the dentist, but on their ability to take into account our feelings, fears and concerns as patients.
Goodwill, conscientiousness and fairness are essential traits for a healthcare professional. We value our patients and we’re looking forward to seeing each of you again soon.

Most of the mouthwashes only mask the unpleasant smell but some complex factores can determine whether you will have pleasant breath or not... Whether you have fresh breath is determined by both oral and other factors. The most common cause is deficient oral hygiene and consequent formation of tongue coating and dental plaque. It is quite common to think that good oral hygiene simply means brushing after food. However, the most important is cleaning all bacteria from the dental surface, especially close to the gums. If you do not use floss every day to disrupt the bacteria in the interdental areas, you will certainly have bad breath. Morning breath is not considered a medical problem but for some people it can be an area of embarrassment. The cause is mild hypoglycaemia (reduction of blood sugar), the reduced salivary flow during sleep, and the increase in more pathogenic bacterial species. These microorganisms act on the natura balance of oral mucous and saliva proteins, generating unpleasant smells. Poorly fitted dentures and defective restorations are also sources of bad breath as they can increase plaque retention. Bad breath can also be caused by some medical problems. Dry mouth (xerostomia) is a condition that affects the flow of saliva. This increases the bacteria accumulation in the mouth leading to bad breath. It can be caused by certain medications, salivary gland problems or by continued mouth breathing. Other medical conditions include throat, nose or lungs infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes, liver or kidney problems. If you have bad breath, you will need to make come changes in the way you clean your teeth and gums in order to keep your mouth healthy and fresh. Visit your dentist so they can conduct an evaluation to find the cause of your bad breath, clean all those areas that are difficult to reach and research the best way to keep your mouth clean. Most mouthwashes only mask the bad breath for a short time. Though some mouthwashes are specially formulated to match the volatile sulfuric compounds responsible for bad breath, but they do not treat the underlying problem. One of the warning signs of gum disease is that you always have bad breath or bad taste in the mouth, usually associated with bleeding when brushing or flossing. Again, your dentist will be able to diagnose and treat the problem. The sooner the problems are found, the more effective any treatment will be. Brush your teeth and gums effectively at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Do not forget to brush your tongue as well. Floss once a day for cleaning the bacterias from the interdental surface in all areas. An interdental brush can be used as an alternative or supplement to dental floss to clean bacterias between the teeth. Remember that cleaning between the teeth means cleaning bacteria, not only food scraps. |
