National Smile Month 17th May- 16th June 2009




Size really does matter …. and how often you use it!!!!
Toothbrushes, that is!!
I personally find it an ever increasing struggle to pick up the correct size of toothbrush with a weekly shop from the supermarket, leading to many people using a brush which is far too big!
The perception that the bigger the brush, the better it cleans, is commonplace. Trying to get a large brush into the small confines of the mouth makes the effectiveness of removing the plaque and debris that collects around the teeth difficult.

We pride ourselves on our preventive care assistance to our patients, we endeavour to give all our patients the knowledge and understanding of gum disease and how to prevent it
We, at Absolute Dental, to celebrate Smile Month are holding a toothbrush Amnesty, encouraging our patients to bring in their existing manual toothbrush in exchange for a complimentary, new appropriate sized brush. The offer is open to the first 100 patients.
A medium textured brush with a maximum head size of around 2cm is ideal for adults and children.
Brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste using an appropriate size brush, interdental cleaning, regular visits to a hygienist and dentist all play an important part in maintaining good oral health. Love your Heart, love your Toothbrush…..
