The incidence of root decay can increase due to gum recession causing root surface exposure and dry mouth due to medications.
To protect exposed roots from decay, we suggest:
• Brushing twice a day with a power toothbrush and small interdental brushes
• Using high strength fluoride toothpaste
• Sipping water often and using dry mouth products to relieve dry mouth
• Avoiding frequent snacks and sweetened drinks
And of course, give us a call us at Cameron and Co Dental in Townsville on 4729 5777 so we can develop a comprehensive customised plan to protect your smile.
