There is still no better way for checking if your teeth are free from the bugs that cause tooth decay and gum disease than with disclosing tablets or solution. Look at the video for instructions on how to check yourself and the family. Used correctly, this is the most useful and cheapest oral health product you can buy.

​This is currently the toothpaste I recommend. 
​Its good for sensitivity, as well as reducing decay in the exposed roots of teeth as we get older.

This is a new toothbrush, and I think it is ideal for carers and those who are losing their manual dexterity in later life. Type in triple bristle for my "research". It's why my mother and myself use both the brush and the toothpaste.

Interdental cleaning is crucial for preventing tooth decay and maintaining gum health, which impacts overall well-being. While interdental brushes are most effective, some find silicone aids easier to use. A consistent routine with an effective tool is better than occasional use of an ideal one. The video explains proper techniques for both.

These super interspace brushes have a variety of uses. However you need support from a hygienist as you will need to know your BPE. Please look at the App to see how its related to your health, and specific sites you may need to clean. It is also useful for sensitive teeth when directly applied after drying the area. Is is root sensitivity, or decay?

Tooth mousse has a variety of flavours, and like Biomin contains the mineral content that as we get older the saliva lacks for remineralisation of the teeth to occur with fluoapatatite. It is particularly useful for root sensitivity, and you can apply it regularly yourself as advised by your hygienist using a superinterspace brush.

As we get older a we become more prone to tooth decay and gum problems as our salivary flow rate drops. You will have noticed of a morning, and with differing medications. Sugar free gum stimulates Saliva, and using these mints does the same but includes useful ingredients, but NOT sugar.

For the vast majority mouthwashes not required. however, in some cases especially when it's difficult to use a brush this is the mouthwash I recommend. The video gives general advice on how to keep your mouth moist.

Oral water flossers have had mixed success. This particular model claims to ozone the water, potentially oxygenating it to eliminate harmful anaerobic bacteria. They are particularly beneficial for older adults and recommended for implant maintenance, as implants require three times more care than natural teeth.
