Since I qualified in 1982 we are more aware of our dental plaque, which we now rename as oral biofilm. The best way to improve it is to mechanically clean it.

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. Apply 10% discount code "TEETH4LIFE" |

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.

We are more aware of the importance of interdental cleaning. Not only does it help prevent tooth decay, it also improves and maintains the health of our gums which is related to your general health. There are a variety of aids to clean inderntally, and while the best is the interdental brush, some silicone aids seem easier. It's far better to have a regular routine with an aid that works for you, than an ideal that you use occasionally. The video explains the correct use of both floss and interdental aids.

This is a good product, I never managed to make a video as while the plaque or as one dentist who specialising children dentistry describes the biofilm as " "Sugar Poo" in their mouth.
It does work, and there is another change in colour so they spit out slime. I'd use it regularly, say once a month. Remember removing the plaque is far more important that the mouth feeling fresh. Removing the plaque does 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.

Children often swallow some of the toothpaste, which we think is useful as the developing teeth will have stronger enamel when the adult teeth start erupting from the age of six. At that age children generally stop ingesting as much toothpaste, and can move on to the higher concentration fluoride which covers and strengthens the surface enamel only.

There have been a few false starts with oral water flossers. Some come with different solutions. This one claims to ozoneate the water which could potentially oxygenate the and therefore kill the harmful anaerobic bacteria. They are of value in older age, and recommend for those with implants as they are three time more difficult to maintain healthy than a natural tooth.

This is is Free also. For healthy teeth and gums, its all about diet.“BASICS OF DIET AND HEALTH The basic principles of good diets are so simple that I can summarise them in just ten words: eat less, move more, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. For additional clarification, a five-word modifier helps: go easy on junk foods.”
