To help stop the spread of coronavirus, we are advising against all non-urgent dental treatment.  This includes:   Dental check-ups.  Preventive treatments such as scale and polish and fluoride varnishes.  Examinations and x-rays.  Appointments for braces.  Cosmetic dental treatment of any kind e.g. tooth whitening.  Routine denture treatment.  Treatments on teeth that are not painful e.g. fillings and extractions.  It is likely that your dental practice will contact you to postpone these appointments.  If you do not hear from your dental practice, we recommend that you contact them to cancel your appointment and rearrange it for a later date.  Some dental practices have decided to close during this time, while others are running reduced services. If you have been affected by this, your dental practice should have been in contact with you.  Whenever possible, stay at home and help s...

Top tips for good oral health

0
0
To help prevent dental problems from happening during coronavirus, here are some top tips for great oral health. Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. The best time to brush is last thing at night, before you go to bed. Cut down on how much sugar you have and how often you have it. Keep sugar consumption to mealtimes. This will reduce the time your teeth are under attack. Use interdental brushes or floss to clean in between the teeth. Use mouthwash daily to remove bad bacteria and keep fresh breath. Sugar-free chewing gum can help produce saliva and neutralise the plaque acids in your mouth.

National Smile Month 2020: Why we’re going ahead

Below is an open letter from Chief Executive of the Oral Health Foundation Dr Nigel Carter OBE Over the last few weeks, the coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live our lives.  Our social interactions are limited, the working day is different, as is the family dynamic at home.  The situation changes daily and speculation about relaxing isolation and social distancing seems all but a stab in the dark. Of course, at present there is no alternative. Coronavirus is the most devastating pandemic of the generation and could become the biggest global outbreak since Spanish Flu.  Staying at home and limited social contact to people in your house is vital. As a charity we have had to change how we work. Our staff are working from home, including our team on the Dental Helpline, who are receiving an unprecedented number of calls from people who are unable to access dental care at this time. We also had another hard decision to make about National Smile Month. The camp...
