  • Most people rinse straight after brushing… but that might not be doing your teeth any favours.

Toothpaste contains fluoride, which helps strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
When you rinse straight away, you wash a lot of that protection off.

That’s why we often recommend: Spit, don’t rinse

No need to go full astronaut and swallow it 😅 but letting the fluoride sit on your teeth for a bit longer can make a real difference.

If you’re not sure about your brushing technique, our hygienists are always happy to show you.

  • You can always ask our hygienists to show you how to clean those tricky, hard to reach areas properly

A lot of people feel unsure about brushing technique, especially around the back molars or inside surfaces, and that’s completely normal

There’s absolutely no embarrassment, our job is to help you improve, not judge

Sometimes just a small adjustment can make a big difference to your oral health
