Mouth Care

If your mouth or teeth are sore, or your dentures don’t fit properly, eating and drinking can become difficult.

Follow the tips below to keep your mouth healthy:

• Brush natural teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, speak to your dentist if you are finding this difficult
• If you have a dry mouth, your doctor, dentist or pharmacist can give you saliva replacement
  
  
• Avoid sugary food or drink after brushing your teeth
  
  
• Visit your dentist at least once every year and ask about fluoride varnish and high fluoride toothpaste
  
  
• If you have an ulcer or lump in your mouth for more than 3 weeks see your dentist straight away
