Helping To Protect You From Tooth Decay This Easter

March 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Tooth Decay is one of the most common diseases in the world, so with Easter on its way it is important to remember the effects of sweet treats on your teeth. DenTek Smiles is here to help you understand the causes of Tooth Decay and how to prevent it.

Tooth Decay is caused by fermented sugars and starches breaking down the tooth and wearing away the enamel. The enamel is made up of minerals that are constantly being dissolved (demineralised) and reformed (remineralised). Tooth Decay occurs when more demineralising occurs than remineralising.

A simple way of preventing Tooth Decay is by using Interdental Cleaners to remove fermenting sugars and starch, preventing them from weakening the tooth and stripping away the enamel. DenTek’s Triple Clean Floss Picks clean your teeth in 3 ways... the scrubbing floss gently removes food & plaque, the integrated tongue scraper freshens breath and the textured pick deep cleans between teeth and along the gum lines – protecting your whole mouth, keeping it healthy and fresh.

Go beyond brushing with DenTek’s range of floss picks, interdental brush cleaners, and dental picks; and have a happy Easter knowing that you can protect your teeth from sweets.
