#toothdecay is the most common #childhood disease. 5 times more common than #asthma,4 times more common than early childhood #obesity and 20 times more common than #diabetes. Poor #dentalhealth is the number 1 reason for school absences.

Your child's 1st visit to the #dentist should happen before their 1st birthday.Ideally, 6 months after eruption of the first #tooth. Taking your #child to the dentist at a young age is the best way to help #parents learn how to clean their child's #teeth to help prevent #decay

#Rootcanal work is not as bad as people think when compared to other #dental procedures.Self-reporting of their dental #health suggests patients find the procedure no worse than other dental work overturning the belief that root canal work is the most unpleasant dental treatment

New guidelines have suggested that #milk and #water are the only things which children aged five and under should drink.9 out of 10 hospital #tooth extractions among young children are due to preventable tooth #decay.

#dentists have always warned against drinking too many sugarydrinks because of the danger they pose to overall #health.450,000 people across in Europe were studied.Those who had two or more soft drinks a day were more at risk of dying from heart disease,bowel disease and strokes.

A #tooth which has been knocked out,starts to die quickly.If you put in #milk or hold it in your #mouth,it will survive longer while you rush to your #dentist.The milk and your #saliva-contains #proteins,#antibacterial properties and #sugars to keep #cells in your #teeth growing

Jaw tightness maybe caused by stress,#anxiety,inflammation,injury or by chewing too much can all contribute.Tightness maybe experienced on the left,right or on both https://t.co/Di3sqoNU1W can be relieved with specialist jaw exercises,stress relief techniques,or a#biteguard.

#Electrictoothbrushes clean #teeth and #gums much better than a #manualtoothbrush.Scientists found that people who use an electric toothbrush have healthier gums, less #toothdecay and also keep their teeth for longer, compared with those who use a manual toothbrush.

Most of us are putting our #oralhealth at risk by using our #teeth as tools for jobs they weren’t intended for.The most common misuse for our teeth is tearing #Sellotape (41%),taking tags out of clothing (20%),chewing pens and pencils (16%),opening bottles(9%),doing up zips (4%)

[The dental touch @Touchdental]

Despite it being bad news for our #health,26% of us are willing to share our #toothbrush.Men are more likely to share(32%)than women(20%).6% of 25-35-year-olds would share their toothbrush with a celebrity.

There have been developments at #TheDentalTouch during the past week. We look forward very much to seeing #patients within our refurbished main #surgery and our newly installed additional third surgery
