8. DenTek oral hygiene products
It’s that time of year again when the Christmas lights are adorning the neighbourhood porches and soon children will be on the hunt for every child’s favourite thing – sweets!However, it’s easy to lose track of the frightening amount of sugar a child can consume in one night, with some of the worst-offending sweets containing up to 17g in just one handful.
Did you know 77% of tooth decay starts between the teeth but a toothbrush alone cleans just 60%* of the tooth? To hit the other surface areas that the toothbrush can’t reach, the importance of adding interdental cleaning cannot be overstated. Oral hygiene products such as DenTek’s floss picks and interdental brushes are vital and can be introduced at an early age. In fact, dentists recommend children start interdental cleaning as soon as two teeth are touching using. As regular flossing products are sometimes difficult for children to use, it is recommended that they use interdental products designed specifically for children and under supervision. Don’t be tricked by the treats and terrifying sugar levels this Christmas and enjoy the treats without the toothache!
