As we gently drift into adulthood, it is pretty safe to say that most of us in central London don’t like being told how to look after ourselves any more, considering we have been taught this all of our lives up until now. But that would be probably the most stubbornly stupid approach to anything: things change as we get older and it would be a dangerous attitude to adopt, especially when it comes to our health. The same can be said for our teeth- an important ingredient in our body’s constitution. What might have worked ten years ago may not be relevant now, so we have to adapt and the perfect example of this is how we clean and care for our teeth. This is evolving each year as better and brighter products come out to give our mouths better protection from the dangers of plaque, tooth decay and gum disease. Of course, other than a good brush-up from the dentist, the rest is down to us. It isn’t rocket science either: brushing, flossing and rinsing- that’s it and generally, this will not change. Find a toothbrush that works for you, then a toothpaste, floss or use inter-dental brushes to remove any bits of food that may be stuck, and then top of the exercise with a good mouthwash. The products are there to buy, each designed to sort out that the peculiarities that your mouth has- all you have to do is use them correctly and your teeth will last as long as you do.
