- Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes.
- Use a soft toothbrush—it’s gentler on the gums.
- Use fluoride toothpaste—don’t rinse with water after brushing, just spit it out. The fluoride should stay on the teeth for at least 1 hour after brushing to be absorbed into the enamel.
- Use dental floss, toothpicks, or interdental brushes daily between your teeth. In the clinic, we can instruct and help you with the correct techniques.
- Drink water as your thirst quencher.
- Avoid excessive sugary and acidic foods and drinks.
- Visit a dental hygienist or dentist regularly (the standard recommendation is once a year). We will provide an individual recommendation after your check-up with us.
- Eat regular meals and avoid snacking between meals.
- Use fluoride rinse if you have multiple cavities, fillings, or if you are struggling with tooth sensitivity. Wait 1 hour before eating and drinking after rinsing for the full effect of the fluoride rinse.
- Avoid tobacco and smoking.
And finally—are you anxious and delaying your dental check-up? Let us help you! At Blid, we have great respect and compassion for those who are anxious or afraid. We place a strong emphasis on building a positive relationship with our patients, and we have good experience in treating anxious patients. We allocate sufficient time and can take breaks during the treatment if you wish. Inform your practitioner of your challenges so that they can adjust the treatment according to your needs.
