Give your mouth a rest! Your teeth don't get a day off You might not have been able to get an NHS dental appointment. But your teeth are still dealing with what you eat and drink every day. One of the most useful things you can do for your smile? Think about how often your teeth are exposed to sugar. It's not just how much sugar you have — how often and how long that sugar remains in your mouth matters too. e.g. eating a pack of sweets or sucking them on and off all day. ✔️ Keep sugary foods and drinks to mealtimes where possible ✔️ Choose water between meals ✔️ Check labels for added sugars ✔️ Avoid sugary food and drinks before bed You don't have to be perfect - none of us are. Small changes, repeated regularly, can make a difference. 🥗 Eat Well. What's one drink or snack swap you can make this week? #nhsdentistry #mouthcare #selfcare #sugarsnacks #growingsmilesuk

🦷 “Why can’t I find an NHS dentist?” It’s a question we hear all the time. The public are passionate about it. It makes headlines. It gets politicians talking. And it’s a really important question.

Would you spend £420 on a toothbrush? A new high-tech toothbrush has just been unveiled — complete with a camera that lets you see inside your mouth while you brush. Very clever? Absolutely. Necessary for a healthy smile? Not necessarily. Technology can help us understand where we're brushing — but it doesn't replace the basics: ✔️ Brush at least night and morning - every surface, every tooth and gumline, with fluoride toothpaste ✔️ Clean between your teeth every day ✔️ Spit after brushing — don't rinse with water More expensive doesn't automatically mean more effective. The best toothbrush is the one you're able to use effectively and consistently. Think what am I trying to achieve?” It's a good place to start.
