Do you sometimes worry that your children are not brushing their teeth properly? Are they doing a rushed job so that they can go off and play?

You might be interested in reading NHS Guidance on how to look after your children’s teeth: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-teeth-and-gums/taking-care-of-childrens-teeth/

You will find everything there is to know from brushing their first tooth to their first trip to the dentist with specific advice tailored to their age (up to 3 years old, 3-6 years old, aged 7 and over).

Here are some top tips to help children brush their teeth properly:

🪥Guide your child’s hand so they can feel the correct movement

🪥Use a mirror 🪞so that your child can see where the brush is cleaning their teeth

🪥Make it fun by using an egg timer⏳to time it for about 2 minutes.

🪥Don’t let children run around with a toothbrush in their mouth, as they may hurt themselves.

A regular teeth-cleaning routine at home is essential but just as important is making sure they get regular dental checkups from when their first milk teeth appear. NHS dental care is free for children so if you would like to book an appointment for your little one, just call Lisa Bonello, our Patient Care Co-Ordinator ☎️ 01344 300 417 📱07765 333 768 or 📧 pc@crownwooddental.co.uk

Mouth Cancer

Throughout the month of November, the Mouth Cancer Foundation and the Oral Health Foundation work hard to raise awareness of oral cancer with their 👄 Mouth Cancer Action Month?

It is important to be mouth aware by looking for red or white patches, long-lasting mouth ulcers or unusual lumps and swellings in the mouth, lips, head and neck. If you notice anything unusual, it is important that you flag this with your dentist.

Having regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments also allows your dentist to detect any early signs of cancer so it’s important to book and attend these routine dental appointments.

Did you know that November is ? Mouth Cancer Action Month?

Throughout the month of November, the Mouth Cancer Foundation and the Oral Health Foundation work hard to raise awareness of oral cancer and you can find out more about how to get involved here: https://www.mouthcancerfoundation.org/mouth-cancer-action-month/

Over 8300 new cases of mouth cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year. Mouth cancer affects 650 000 people worldwide per year and over 2700 lives are lost every year. Incidence has risen by 49% over the past 10 years whilst 5-year survival rates have hardly improved in the last few decades due to late detection. 

This is why not just in November but every single day, it is important to be mouth aware by looking for red or white patches, long-lasting mouth ulcers or unusual lumps and swellings in the mouth, lips, head and neck. If you notice anything unusual, it is important that you flag this with your dentist.
