🦷 Don’t forget the spaces between your teeth!

Brushing alone only cleans around 60% of tooth surfaces — interdental aids like floss or interdental brushes plaque and food particles from the areas your toothbrush can’t reach.

Using interdental aids once per day can help:
✔️ Prevent gum disease
✔️ Reduce bad breath
✔️ Lower the risk of cavities between teeth
✔️ Keep your smile healthier for longer

Welcome back to our Dental Nurse Emelia who returns from her maternity leave today!

She is experiencing a lot of teething with her baby! 😅

Some signs your baby may be teething:
🦷 Sore or red gums where the tooth is coming through,
🦷 More dribbling than usual,
🦷 Wanting to chew or bite things,
🦷 Rubbing their ear or cheeks.

As soon as teeth appear:
🪥 Start brushing twice a day with a smear of fluoride toothpaste (1,000-1,500ppm)

If you would like any advice on teething don’t hesitate to ask one of our members of staff who would be happy to help 😀

NOVEMBER IS MOUTH CANCER AWARENESS MONTH …..💙

November is designated as Mouth Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness about the signs, symptoms, and risks of oral cancer and to encourage early detection. Symptoms include persistent mouth ulcers that don't heal, lumps and red or white patches in the mouth. Early diagnosis significantly improves survival rates, so it is important to check your mouth regularly and see a dentist or doctor if you have any concerns.

We routinely screen patients as part of their Dental Examination, but if you have any concerns contact us for advice . 💙
