A lifetime of smiles
While regular visits to the dentist are an essential part of dental care, be sure to take care of your teeth and gums between appointments.
Plaque is forming on your teeth all the time but you can avoid its negative effects by brushing and flossing regularly. Here are some tips for good oral care:
• Brush your teeth twice a day
• Be sure to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride to protect against cavities
• Floss at least once a day
• A mouth rinse can help freshen breath and control plaque bacteria
• Change your brush (or brush head) every three months
For the best dental care, brushing with a power brush is a great step forward.
While a power toothbrush can’t replace professional tooth cleaning it can help keep your teeth feeling clean and smooth between dental appointments and many power brushes remove up to twice as much plaque as a manual toothbrush.
With a variety of technologies available to ensure that you brush each section of your teeth for the right amount of time and apply just the right amount of pressure, power brushes will help you get top marks for technique.
Care at every age
Different types of dental care are needed at different ages. Kids’ teeth are particularly prone to decay.
A healthy diet shouldn’t be underestimated and encouraging kids to eat a variety of foods while cutting down on sugary snacks will reduce the likelihood of cavities.
A range of both manual and power brushes are available to suit every age group and brushing with a good toothpaste twice a day is essential.
When children move into their teens and grow increasingly conscious of their appearance, parents can continue to help them to care for their teeth by reminding them that a healthy smile and fresh breath will keep them looking and feeling their best.
As people age, they may lose teeth due to decay or gum disease and some may need to have dentures fitted. Advances in denture care mean that this is no longer the scary prospect it once was. If dentures are needed, your dentist will ensure best fit.
As well as following a thorough dental health routine, using products that are specifically designed with your needs in mind will help keep dental treatments at bay.
Global patient safety leader to keynote OSAP 2011 symposium
The Board of Directors of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention has announced that Sir Liam Donaldson, chairman of the World Health Organization’s patient safety initiative, will speak June 10, 2011, at its annual Infection Prevention and Safety Symposium in Plano (Dallas), TX.

The conference runs June 9-12, 2011.
“One of OSAP’s driving initiatives is to help integrate the tenets of patient safety throughout oral care,” said Therese Long, OSAP’s executive director. “Sir Liam’s participation in the infection prevention and patient safety conference helps increase the visibility and underscores the importance of this initiative.
“Adverse health-care events, including some dental related episodes, have been extensively featured in the popular press,” Long added. “Typically, they occur not because people intentionally harm patients, but rather that the system of health care today is complex. Therefore, the successful treatment and outcome for each patient depends on a range of factors, not just the competence of an individual provider.”
The June symposium will present information on patient safety in dentistry, as well as timely updates on diseases, infection prevention and safety technologies, regulations, “green infection control,” and other critical topics.
“This is THE conference to attend for those who teach, lecture, consult, and/or are responsible for infection prevention and safety in dentistry,” Long said.
Sir Liam will be delivering the organization’s sixth annual Dr. John S. Zapp Memorial Lecture. The Zapp lecture was established in 2006 to build bridges with global leaders to promote knowledge exchange about oral infection and safety, for patients and deliverers of care.
Previous lecturers have included leaders from the World Health Organization, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, FDI World Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the health-care industry.
