The Ultimate Guide to Improved Oral Hygiene

The Basics of Daily Dental Care

Regular tooth brushing and good dental hygiene form the basis for the care of your teeth and gums, contributing to good oral health. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, such as one of our ALPINE WHITE whitening toothpastes. The brushing technique is crucial: circular movements, brushing the chewing surfaces, and not forgetting the inner surfaces of the teeth. An electric toothbrush can help you clean the tooth surface more effectively. Make sure that the bristles are not too hard to avoid damaging your gums and tooth enamel.

In addition to toothbrushes and toothpaste, mouth rinses and mouthwashes can be useful additions to your dental hygiene routine. Mouth rinses can reduce plaque and provide fresh breath, while mouthwashes can help remove food debris from between the teeth. Don't forget to consider choosing the right toothpaste to suit your individual needs and optimize your dental hygiene routine.

Maintaining good oral health is essential for a healthy mouth and can have positive effects on overall health conditions. At ALPINE WHITE, we emphasize the importance of a healthy mouth in preventing various health issues.

The Importance of Interdental Cleaning

Cleaning the spaces between the teeth is an essential part of thorough and proper oral hygiene. Food debris and plaque tend to accumulate in these hard-to-reach areas and can cause gum inflammation and tooth decay. Both dental floss and interdental brushes are excellent tools for keeping these areas clean. Flossing or interdental brushing once a day should be an integral part of your routine, regardless of whether you use an electric toothbrush or a manual toothbrush.

When it comes to dentures and implants, interdental cleaning becomes even more important. Food debris and plaque in these areas can not only lead to tooth decay and gum problems but can also affect the durability of your dentures or implants. It is therefore of great importance to clean these areas particularly carefully to remove plaque, using tools like flossers, and to prolong the life of your dentures or implants. This practice promotes general oral health.

The Role of Tongue Cleaners

Tongue cleaning is essential for oral hygiene, as the tongue is often overlooked and can accumulate bacteria. Tongue cleaners and scrapers are effective tools to gently clean the tongue at home and remove bacteria and deposits. Numerous studies support that regular tongue cleaning can reduce bad breath and promote overall oral health.

At ALPINE WHITE, we offer additional tongue cleaning as part of our dental hygiene services. A gentle cleaning gel is applied to the tongue, and a special suction device thoroughly cleans the tongue in just a few minutes.

Nutrition and Oral Health – What You Should Know

Your diet plays a crucial role in the care of your teeth and gums. Avoid sugary foods and sugary drinks, as they are the main culprits for dental problems such as plaque and caries. Instead, focus on a balanced diet with eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, providing essential nutrients that support the oral flora and strengthen the periodontium. Additionally, stay hydrated to combat dry mouth, a condition that can also affect your oral health. This approach helps prevent serious dental problems, ensuring long-term oral health, and following health tips can further enhance your dental well-being.

Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are strong risk factors for oral health problems, leading to gum inflammation, cavities, bad breath, and even oral cancer. It is advisable to reconsider these habits and make conscious dietary choices to promote long-term teeth and gum health, ensuring the removal of food particles that can contribute to dental issues.

Professional Teeth Cleaning – Your Partner for Optimal Oral Health

Regular professional teeth cleaning (PTC) appointments are crucial for detecting and treating dental problems early on. This involves a thorough removal of tartar and stubborn deposits that are challenging to reach with conventional toothbrushes. During careful teeth cleanings and examinations, dental hygienists look for signs of poor oral hygiene, dental and gum diseases. They provide valuable advice on oral care and improving dental health to prevent long-term damage. Professional teeth cleaning is particularly important for hard-to-reach areas, such as under the gum line, in between teeth, and the fine grooves on chewing surfaces. Additionally, gentle tartar removal significantly contributes to preventing cavities, gum bleeding, and gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. These appointments should be individually tailored and typically scheduled 1-4 times a year. Adhering to these appointments can prevent an unpleasant visit to the dentist's office with noisy drills.

Choosing the right dental care products

When it comes to choosing dental care products, quality is key. Toothpastes with fluoride are a good choice as they protect the enamel and help prevent tooth decay. When choosing your toothbrush, a small, soft brush head is an advantage in order to effectively reach the back teeth and tooth necks without damaging your sensitive gums. The toothbrush should fit comfortably in your hand and the bristles should be flat and evenly arranged. Nylon bristles offer a hygienic and effective option.

Our ALPINE WHITE toothbrush is an ideal choice. It combines elegant design with smart ergonomics, soft bristles and light weight for gentle brushing. Developed and tested by experts in Switzerland, we also offer a range of Whitening Toothpastes with fluoride in three different varieties to care for and whiten your teeth.
