To help prevent dental problems from happening during this period, here are some top tips for great oral health from our friends at the Oral Health Foundation
1. Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
2. The best time to brush is last thing at night, before you go to bed.
... 3. Cut down on how much sugar you have and how often you have it.
4. Keep sugar consumption to mealtimes. This will reduce the time your teeth are under attack.
5. Use interdental brushes or floss to clean in between the teeth.
6. Use mouthwash daily to remove bad bacteria and keep fresh breath.
If you are in pain, bleeding, swelling, or have had an accident and need urgent dental care, please telephone us as we are running an emergency dental advice service with all appointments postponed until further notice.
Out with these hours, please call NHS 24 on 111
