Top tips for your dental health
-
Brush your teeth for 2 minutes before bed and at least at one other time in the
day
-
If you have been advised to, use Easypicks or Tepe brushes to clean between
your teeth at least once a day
-
Reduce the amount of sugar you eat (including in drinks): ideally keep sugar
just to meal times
-
Use a good quality toothpaste with at least 1450ppm of fluoride. (Locally, this
may not apply to young children living in Alsager where the water is
fluoridated- talk to your dentist first.)
-
When finished, spit the excess out but don’t rinse your mouth. It is good for
the fluoride to stay on your teeth.
-
If you want to use a mouthwash then don’t use it at the same time as brushing
your teeth… it washes all the fluoride away!
-
See your dentist regularly
-
Help your child clean their teeth to the age of 8 years
