If on the off chance you weren\u2019t aware, there are a lot of myths surrounding your mouth. Some can be harmless and others slightly more damaging. So just in case your neighbours have given you some fraudulent advice, or one of the more \u2018know it-all\u2019 mums at day care have tried to impress you with some bogus dental \u2018fact\u2019 \u2013 we\u2019re here to set the record straight!<\/p>\n
Myth #1- Brushing your bleeding gums is bad!<\/strong><\/p>\n Many people are ambivalent towards brushing their bleeding gums, fearing they will only make a bad situation worse. This is a myth! By brushing your bleeding gums you\u2019re brushing away the plaque that\u2019s causing the inflammation, and are therefore working towards stopping the bleeding and making your gums healthier! The same goes for flossing. Bleeding while flossing isn\u2019t an indictor that you should stop\u2026 it\u2019s telling you to carry on! Not necessarily. It\u2019s very unlikely that you would realise you need a filling while the decay is in its first stages. Dental check-ups are key in finding the cavities early before they\u2019ve had time to worsen. The longer you leave cavities the larger they will become, they could also cause you pain. By keeping regular dental check-ups you could save yourself not only some money, but a lot of pain too!<\/p>\n Myth #3- You\u2019re too old for braces!<\/strong><\/p>\n Nonsense! You\u2019re never too old for braces! If you\u2019re unhappy about your teeth, book a consultation with our Treatment Coordinator to discuss our braces. We have a range of different braces that would suit you at any age. Obviously not everyone\u2019s mouth is suitable for braces – but age is never an issue when it comes to straightening up your nashers.<\/p>\n If you have any questions on what\u2019s been covered, or have heard any myths you\u2019d like us to debunk; give us a call!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If on the off chance you weren\u2019t aware, there are a lot of myths surrounding your mouth.
