Sweet Tooth

Gum disease is the main reason that adults lose their teeth, but can be easily prevented with thorough brushing and daily flossing to remove plaque. To add something special to your dental routine try Korres Spearmint and Lime Total Care Toothpaste (£5.00 at HQHair.com). Not only is it refreshingly different but protects against bleeding gums.

Rotten Horror Show
Dental decay is caused by acid attacks softening the tooth enamel and causing a hole or cavity. If it is not treated you’ll probably end up getting a filling or worse, having the culprit extracted. It is true what they say, prevention is better than cure, so stand up to those acid invasions with a decay preventing mouthwash. Colgate Fluorigard Daily Rinse (£3.99 at Boots) not only protects against future damage but reduces existing decay, all without the intense flavour of some mouthwashes that can your eyes water.

Don’t forget, a good dental care routine is no substitute for regularly visiting your dentist. Bite the bullet and make an appointment at least once a year.
