Finish by adding a pea-sized blob of fluoride toothpaste, brush again,
1οΈβ£ Grab your toothbrush β dry. No water. No toothpaste. No tap.
2οΈβ£ Brush a couple of teeth β outside, inside, biting surface.
3οΈβ£ Aim the bristles at your gum line (like a nail brush cleaning under your nail).
4οΈβ£ Feel the bristles working β gently! Harder isnβt better.
Now pause.
Ever catch yourself thinkingβ¦

Daily deals > healthy habits > foundation for a healthier and happier you.
Think mouth, mind, body.
Your mouth -
What goes into it.
What goes on in it.
Impacts your overall health and wellbeing.
Kick off this year with healthy mouth care habits - the ripples will be felt throughout your body.
Instead of 'big' resolutions why not try 'daily deals'....small wins to clock up towards healthy habits?
Many resolutions are significant 'statements of intent'.
Then 'Life' gets in the way... umm like this weeks UK weather?
We offer you a New Year chuckle before getting into the routine groove.
Hard to think its nearly 10 years old. Pre AI with all the bells and whistles now so readily accessible to 'perfect' video content....or maybe it isnt!

Quit sugar an hour before bed.
Take 2 minutes to brush 2 x day. It will help your sleep and your smile. Time and timing matter. GrowingSmiles.co.uk
Why do gummy sweets hide under the pillow?
They like to hang around overnight!
Time matters for your smile. whether its taking longer to clean or timing of sugary snacks & drinks.
One does not cancel out the impact the other!
Thankfully these days there's tech to help.
Owning it wont help if you dont use it!
Look great in the bathroom but if they dont make it to your mouth regularly, and are used effectively, all the 'stuff' in the world won't get you a healthy smile for life.
#healthyhabits keep you smiling.
