Top Tips for teeth! 1. Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste. (Spit out after brushing and do not rinse, so that the fluoride stays on your teeth longer). 2.After eating, wait for one hour before brushing your teeth. ( Some foods and drinks can make tooth enamel soft,so try not to brush straight after eating,or you could damage this protective coating). 3.Use dental floss or interdental brushes to clean bet...ween your teeth at least once a day. (Only 21% of people clean between their teeth regularly). 4. Change your toothbrush every 3months. (Only 22%of people xchange their toothbrush every 3 months). 5. Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks between meals. (It's not how much you have,but how often you have it. To help your teeth to fight against decay, try to keep sugary foods and drinks to mealtimes and only have one snack a day). 5. Drink water,eat cheese, or chew sufgar free gum after meals. (Water rinses sugar and acid away. Cheese helps to neutralise acid and chewing sugar free gum helps to clean the mouth). 6.Visit your dentist regularly,as often as they recommend. (It is important that you have dental checkups to keep your mouth healty). 7.Be mouth aware. (Check your own mouth regularly and visit your dentist if you notice any changes, such as lumps,red and white patches or mouth ulcers which do not heal in 3 weeks).

Children's oral health: 1. Take your child to the dentist early,as soon as possible. This will help them get used to the sights,sounds and smells of a dental practice. 2. When the first teeth start to appear,try using a toothbrush design for children,with a small smear of fluoride toothpaste. 3.A child's tooth brushing should be supervised until they are about 7 years old. 4.
