Brush twice daily, for two minutes each time. Remember, time matters! Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, ensuring you reach all surfaces of your teeth, including the gum line. Angled bristles can help clean those hard-to-reach areas.
Flossing is your BFF! Don’t skip this crucial step. Floss once a day to remove plaque buildup between teeth, where your brush can’t reach. Consider using a water flosser for an easier and more effective clean.
Don’t forget your tongue! Home to numerous bacteria, brushing your tongue helps remove bad breath and improves overall oral health.
Sugar Rush? Not so fast. Limit sugary drinks and snacks, as they feed the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. Opt for water, unsweetened tea, and fruits (in moderation) for healthier alternatives.
Smoking is a double whammy. It stains teeth, weakens gums, and increases the risk of oral cancer. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your oral (and overall) health.
Regular dental checkups are your shield. Don’t underestimate the power of preventative care! Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings, even if you think your teeth feel fine. Early detection and treatment of potential problems can save you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
Remember: Good oral hygiene is a lifelong journey, not a one-time effort. By incorporating these expert tips into your daily routine, you can cultivate a healthy smile that shines with confidence and contributes to your overall well-being.

Ian Hughes8 June 2023I've been going to poppies for years. Always see the same dentist, always friendly and professional. Reception staff are brilliant aswell.
Pat Frederick23 March 2023As an elderly lady with severe breathing problems and a pathological fear of dentists, I feared the worst when I needed to receive treatment. All my fears have been dissipated, the treatment I received (involving drill work) was painless, speedy and stress-free. My comfort was a major consideration at all times. I have many health issues (including deafness) and all attention was paid to factoring in these setbacks. The dentist was infinitely reassuring throughout and executed my drilling and filling with speed and efficacy. The nurses also could not have been more comforting and efficient. I can only say that such exemplary treatment has allayed my deep-seated fear of dental work. I can reiterate that I would recommend Poppies Dental to any and everybody, especially those with a phobia of dentists. Top marks to all involved.
