What is Good Oral Hygiene?

Good oral hygiene results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy. This means:

. Your teeth are clean and free of debris

. Gums are firmly held against teeth and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss

. Bad breath is not a constant problem

If your gums start to hurt or bleed while brushing or flossing, or you are experiencing persistent bad breath, see your dentist. Any of these conditions may indicate a problem.

The Practice

Albert Harper established Harpers Dental Practice in 1897. His son, Cecil joined the practice having graduated from Manchester University in 1925. In turn, Cecil's son James graduated with a dental degree from Durham University and joined the practice in 1958. Today, Sheffield graduate (1986) David continues the family tradition as principle dentist of the practice.
