Brush Up On Habits To Avoid Dental Disasters

-

“Have check-ups well before the holidays and be careful with sticky, hard, festive treats like toffees and nuts which can cause havoc with fillings, crowns and dental implants,” says dental surgeon Guy Bar well. “Be sure to increase tooth brushing to three times a day, floss daily, and offset acidic drinks with plenty of water. If toothache strikes, swish warm, salty water inside your mouth and ease pain with paracetamo­l. Call NHS 111 for emergency dentist details.”
