Good oral health is important no matter what your age. The easiest way to maintain good oral health is by:
brushing your teeth twice a day using a small soft toothbrush
using fluoride toothpaste
flossing daily
visiting the dentist regularly
drinking plenty of tap water
limiting your consumption of soft drinks, sports drinks and sweet foods
wearing a mouthguard when training for or playing contact sports.
Concerning issues:
bad breath
discoloured teeth
overcrowded teeth
when and how to use mouth rinses
gums bleeding when you brush your teeth
If you are concerned by any of the issues above, please contact your dentist or the school dental service. They should provide you with information and an individual diagnosis that is best for your oral health.
