Last week\u2019s blog post was entitled \u2018Now that you have time\u2026\u2019, but what if you don\u2019t?<\/p>
Here at Growing Smiles we realise that lockdown hasn\u2019t meant an abundance of free time for everyone. You may be a nurse, who\u2019s days have gotten longer, needing extra time to add and remove PPE before and after shifts, a postie who is working longer hours and wider areas due to staff illness or a parent with a young child or children who demand all of your time and attention.<\/p>
Whoever you are, whatever you do, we are all in very different situations which impact our daily routines. Some of us are exhausted when arriving home from work and the last thing we want to do is start interdental cleaning before brushing our teeth and going to bed. Others may only have time to grab a quick bar of chocolate to keep us going when we haven\u2019t had time for lunch.<\/p>
We understand that, although spending time brushing your teeth at night and one other time of the day for two minutes, as well as daily interdental cleaning is ideal (and recommended), we don\u2019t always have the time. Life can be hectic and doesn\u2019t always go to plan and we certainly aren\u2019t here to judge \u2013 in fact, we are here to support.<\/p>
Growing Smiles has put together some suggestions to help care for your mouth when time isn\u2019t on your side.<\/p>
Please remember these are suggestions for damage limitation, to keep your oral care afloat on those manic days. It is not recommended that you follow these long term or regularly.<\/strong><\/p> For more information on oral care, take a look at the Growing Smiles tips page<\/a>. Alternatively, if you wish to discuss your situation and get tailored advice on how to care for your mouth, take Time Out For Teeth<\/a> \u2013 a virtual, personalised coaching session with LeighGS that can be done at a time and place that suits you.<\/p> Finally, to those of you who \u2018don\u2019t have time\u2019 \u2013 we\u2019d like to THANK YOU for all of your hard work, whatever you do. A special thank you to the key workers \u2013 those collecting and delivering our Growing Smiles shop<\/a> parcels, emptying our bins and working on the front line in health and social care. In our eyes, anyone who has their hands full during this time deserves a socially distant high five.<\/p> Keep smiling.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week\u2019s blog post was entitled \u2018Now that you have time\u2026\u2019, but what if you don\u2019t?
