Dental Care & Oral Health

What is World Oral Health Day?   Gob, kisser, yapper, the north and south- whatever you call it, the mouth is an incredibly important part of our body. How many things would we be unable to do if we didn’t have a mouth? Eating, drinking, speaking, smiling- none of these activities would be possible without our mouths. We’d all be...

    Have you noticed that people don’t want to speak to you for a long time lately?   Are your friends keeping a 2-metre distance that’s nothing to do with social distancing?   Have you found a new favourite food that’s full of garlic, onions, and other fragrant spices?   Have you been a little lazy with your tooth...

Have you ever bit into a delicious snack only to experience one of the most extreme pains that you can imagine?

Okay, maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but seriously, how do those little white sores in your mouth cause so much pain?!

Well, those teeny, tiny sores are mouth ulcers, and although they may look harmless, the pointless annoyance they can cause is real.

That’s why we’re going to look at mouth ulcers in detail and see what we can do about them!

Our mouths are worth looking after, so if you’re ready to make a pledge this World Oral Health Day, get your teeth into this guide on how to keep your mouth squeaky clean.

If you’ve got white patches on your tongue and your mouth is feeling sore and red, then you could be dealing with a charming fungal infection called oral thrush.

Oral thrush is a pretty common infection that can affect men, women, and children, so if you’re worried that a member of your family could be suffering with this one, then you’ve come to the right place!

Let’s have a look at what makes oral thrush the thoroughly lovely infection it is.

Ever seen those tiny little toothbrushes and wondered what on earth they’re for? Well those are interdental toothbrushes and you shouldn’t underestimate them!

Let’s take a look at them in detail as we answer all of your questions about interdental brushes and what they do best.
