Our Dental Health Educator gives the following advice ...
-
Visit your dentist at least once a year (unless the dentist advises you otherwise) and visit the hygienist about twice a year or as otherwise advised
-
Brush your teeth twice a day - before breakfast and before bed; particularly before bed
-
Floss your teeth once a day
-
Use a flouride toothpaste, spit it out but don't rinse
-
Reduce the frequency of sugary snacks and drinks
-
If you have toothache, any sign of sensitivity or something doesn't feel correct ... make an appointment with your dentist
Both the British Health Foundation and Denplan websites have excellent advice sections covering a wide range of dental topics.
