Excellent nights last week when we built our own false teeth… Not as easy as it first seemed and who’d have thought that it could be turned into a competitive sport? But we managed it. Best teeth placement won a prize.

Oh… and nobody (including leaders) knew how to brush properly…

Simon demonstrated and here is the same advice from from the NHS guide:

 

  • Place the head of your toothbrush against your teeth, then tilt the bristle tips to a 45 degree angle against the gum line. Move the brush in small circular movements, several times, on all the surfaces of every tooth.
  • Brush the outer surfaces of each tooth, upper and lower, keeping the bristles angled against the gum line.
  • Use the same method on the inside surfaces of all your teeth.
  • Brush the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
  • To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several small circular strokes with the toe (the front part) of the brush.
  • Brushing your tongue will freshen your breath and clean your mouth by removing bacteria.
