It’s National Smile Month !

The Oral Health Foundation is a charity that provides impartial advice on all aspects of oral health, and for the next four weeks, they will be discussing ways to love your smile. Pay them a visit, and see how they can help you.

Cleaning in between your teeth should be part of your daily routine. Interdental brushes or dental floss are both helpful in removing plaque and small pieces of food from between your teeth and even just below your gums. These are places a toothbrush can’t get to.

Remember to clean between all your teeth and don’t forget the back of your back teeth!

If you are using interdental brushes, use the right size brush – you will probably need smaller brushes for your front teeth and larger ones for your back teeth. They can be used more than once, like a normal toothbrush. TePe has a helpful video showing you how to use them.
