Did you know that eating crunchy fibrous foods helps stimulate saliva flow? Next time you feel peckish, reach for some carrot sticks or celery for a satisfying crunch and an oral health boost.

Meet Andi Biotic. 💊👋
Andi knows that #AntimicrobialResistance is making our antibiotics less effective. We could end up in a world where common infections become life-threatening.

Left untreated, #UTIs can escalate into serious bloodstream infections, adding to our antibiotic resistance threat. These infections could potentially develop into #sepsis, and prove fatal in extreme instances. Recognise the early warning signs: https://t.co/m0Ak8C494K… #AMR
