 Much of your preventive dental care starts with you.
Developing healthy dental habits early in life can help reduce cavities, gum disease, and gingivitis. * Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day using a soft bristled brush and a fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist can recommend the best toothbrush and toothpaste for you. They can also instruct you on how to properly brush. * Floss daily to get bacteria that’s stuck between teeth before it turns to plaque. * Avoid acidic foods that can harm tooth enamel. * Be cautious with hard foods, like some candies, foods with bones, seeds, or pits that could damage or chip teeth. * Don’t smoke or use tobacco products—these can lead to cancer and other dental problems. * Use a mouth guard when participating in certain sports. * If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist for a nighttime mouth guard. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  If you care about your oral health, preventive dentistry is crucial.

Although we need to have perfectly clear how oral diseases work and how we can keep free of them.
The dentist should have the role of a guide rather than a “fixer”. If we have all understood and explained, we should be able to be totally free from diseases like dental decay and gum disease. The sooner we are explained how to prevent and not have disease at all, higher are the chances that we spend our whole life with our teeth and gums healthy and intact. We are not destined to have “bad teeth”. In fact, we can stop having bad teeth at any time in life. And it is in our hands, not in the dentist’s. Information is the key point! ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes 18 Cadogan Gardens, London SW3 2RP, United Kingdom Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  The campaign theme for World Oral Health Day contains a powerful message: Be Proud Of Your Mouth. In other words, value and take care of it.
We want to inspire change by focusing on the importance of oral health for overall health, because good oral health can help you live a longer, healthier life. And that is something worth taking action for. Let’s raise awareness and empower people with the knowledge, tools and confidence to secure good oral health. ********⠀ Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  The oral health promotion philosophy is a different approach to dentistry. It’s a preventive approach compared to traditional dentistry. This philosophy was originated in the Scandinavian countries in the 70’s. It deals mainly with the understanding about the process of the dental decay and the disease on the gums. In traditional dentistry, the dentist acts mainly as a mechanicist restorative agent. Patients go to the dentist to check for problems and fix them. In the end, they go home with zero understanding of what is going on in their mouth. In the oral health promotion, the dentist acts more as a guide. We try to clarify and share knowledge with our patient, empowering them to intervene in the process of the disease by changing certain behaviours and perceptions about how it happens. The prevalent diseases we have in our mouth are the dental decay and the disease on the gums. Both of them are caused by bacteria that accumulate in the areas we don’t touch. What happens is that we tend to concentrate our cleaning in the central areas and other areas we just don’t reach. In the areas we don’t touch bacteria will develop and once they develop they will be able to cause the disease. So, if we understand the process of the disease, we can intervene in this process and stop it from happening. We can have a very healthy oral cavity and a very good smile.
