http:\/\/www.bradenton.com\/2015\/09\/15\/5991042_12-things-your-dentist-knows-about.html?rh=1<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s a really good read, and a great reminder of the kinds of things that you need to be taking into account when looking after your teeth.<\/p>\n During all my years in dentistry, I\u2019ve found that a lot of people forget some really crucial things.<\/p>\n The biggest offenders from this article are definitely flossing<\/strong> and vitamin deficiencies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n These are aspects that most people completely forget about, or it simply just doesn\u2019t occur to them.<\/p>\n First off, flossing. This is more vital than most people think, as it helps prevent gum disease by removing bits of food and plaque that a toothbrush just can\u2019t reach. You can\u2019t fool us dentists into thinking you floss regularly just because you gave it a go before your appointment, sorry!<\/p>\n Then there are your vitamins (B, C, A, D, K, and iron). Again, most people don\u2019t really think these affect your teeth, but boy do they ever! Eating a healthy diet is just as important for your teeth as it is for the rest of your body. So if you come to us with bleeding gums, a burning mouth, or even a loss of papillae (tongue bumps!) then we may just prescribe you some fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n If you fancy giving us a call for more info, or even for just a reminder of the sorts of things that we at Brightside Dental<\/strong> can do for you, our number is: 020 8088 2079<\/strong>.<\/p>\n All the best,<\/p>\n Ketan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to your teeth, your dentist can pick up on a lot more than you think \u2013 simply by taking a quick glance at your mouth.
