Expert Oral Hygiene Tips from Surbiton Smile Centre
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home is essential for a healthy smile between dental visits. Follow these proven tips recommended by our dental hygienists:
-
Brush Twice Daily—Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush for two minutes with gentle, circular motions at a 45-degree angle to your gums for effective plaque removal.
-
Floss Daily—Flossing reaches areas between teeth and below the gumline that brushing misses, helping prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
-
Choose the Right Products—Consider electric toothbrushes and antimicrobial mouthwashes to enhance your daily oral care routine.
-
Maintain a Balanced Diet—Limit sugary snacks and drinks. Include crunchy fruits and vegetables to naturally clean your teeth and stimulate saliva production.
-
Stay Hydrated—Drinking plenty of water helps wash away food debris and keeps your mouth moist, reducing the risk of tooth decay and bad breath.
Consistent oral care is the foundation of healthy teeth and gums. For personalised advice and professional dental hygiene services in Surbiton, book your appointment at Surbiton Smile Centre today.
For Kids & Families
Teaching children good dental habits early sets the foundation for lifelong oral health. Start dental visits by age one to monitor development and catch any issues early. Make brushing fun by using colourful toothbrushes, apps, or songs to motivate young kids. Encourage flossing as soon as two teeth touch. Sealants and fluoride treatments are safe and effective ways to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. As a family, make brushing a daily ritual together — kids love to mimic parents!

Wendy’s expertise lies in helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. She provides gentle and thorough cleanings and empowers every patient with personalized advice and techniques for a lifetime of optimal oral health.
“I’ve been visiting the team at SSC for 9 months or so. My treatment included a front tooth implant plus upper and lower alignment. From start to finish the team were fantastic – especially good with appointment times, availability and patient communication. I’ve recently concluded my treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’d highly recommend to someone looking for first class cosmetic dental treatment. Thank you Simin, Theo, Claudia, Fernanda and Wendy.”
“Really happy with this practice – Dr Soltani is lovely and a very good dentist. Waiting times are close to none and the staff are professional and friendly. I did a teeth whitening treatment with the Enlighten method and worked amazingly.”
“She was brilliant. She explained exactly what she was doing. Reassured me thoroughly and I felt at ease. Considering it was Good Friday and in the evening, the price was very fair. If you are in need of a Dentist, then definitely call them.”
I had my Invisalign treatment here and am very pleased with the results. This was with the recommendation of Sure Smile aligners which have worked well. Special thanks to resident orthodontist Theo, Simin and the rest of the team as they are all very professional and friendly.
Dr Soltani and her team at Surbiton Smile Centre has given me exceptional service over the last 5 years. The whole team are highly experienced as well as very friendly. I have done an implant, a crown and braces – all treatments were of first-class. I will certainly continue to let them look after my dental health and strongly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for nearly 20 years, that is surely testament to their service, friendliness, advice and overall experience. Fine fine work Simin and Wendy!
Dr Simin Soltani and the Surbiton Smile Centre team have been world class. The professionalism, quality of treatment, and customer experience have been exemplary.
I needed quite a bit of dental work so went to a few different surgeries to get their opinions. I chose Surbiton Smile Centre because Dr Soltani actually gave me options – all of which would work to varying degrees and, significantly, to varying costs. She took the time to try the most cost-effective option, but always with the possibility of shifting course if needed. Eventually, to get my teeth decently functional, I needed quite a few crowns – including on front teeth. She allowed me time to get used to the adjustments as the process went on, and always made sure each stage was both comfortable and looked good. I am very pleased with the result, again both aesthetically and functionally. Would most heartily recommend!
I recommend my dentist, Simin with the highest regard. Over the years, she has transformed my problematic mouth to a smile of stable, healthy teeth.
Simin has restored an old implant for me and also inserted a new one. She has helped me with crowns and also replaced old black fillings with natural looking white ones. Simin has always been very professional, kind and helpful.
Thank you Simin!

Would strongly recommend.
I would highly recommend to anyone to visit Surbiton Smile Centre, especially to people with dental complications in need of a cosmetic treatment to regain a confident smile. After a consultation with the knowledgeable team at Surbiton Smile Centre I was confident that having my treatment done as they also have a team that can translate make easy to understand. I had implant and cosmetic veneer treatment I have had dental work, check-ups and teeth cleaning done at Surbiton Smile Centre. I highly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre for their expert treatment, friendly staff, great service, and reasonable prices. All my friends and family have commented on my fantastic new teeth and my partner had treatment at Surbiton Smile Centre because I told her of my positive experience.
