teeth health smileThe British Dental Association is widening its PreventionFirst campaign to ensure that people are taking great care of their teeth. It has helped people to separate fact from myth with regard with oral healthcare. Let’s look at a few myths, and at the truth.

Key takeaways:

  • Baby teeth do not matter: That’s a myth. Decay of baby teeth may harm the permanent teeth that appear in later life.
  • Mouthwash instead of brushing: That’s a myth. Only brushing is capable of getting rid of plaque that builds up on the teeth.
  • Older people need not brush teeth: That’s a myth. Brushing is important across all ages. Older people can enjoy better quality life by regularly brushing teeth.

We recommend brushing the gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled brush. Dentures should be cleaned daily with a strong but soft bristled brush to remove food deposits and plaque.
