Be Summer Smile Ready with DenTek

Summer is the season of holidays, garden parties and spontaneous selfies, so it's no surprise that many of us become a little more conscious of our smiles at this time of year. While a dazzling white smile often gets the spotlight, feeling confident enough to smile freely starts with something much more important and that is good oral health. A clean, healthy smile can make all the difference and now is the perfect time to give your daily dental routine a seasonal refresh.

Although brushing twice a day is essential, it's only part of the picture. In fact, a toothbrush cleans around 60% of the tooth's surface, leaving the spaces between teeth vulnerable to plaque and trapped food particles. These hard-to-reach areas are often where gum problems begin, making interdental cleaning an important step that many people still overlook.

Dental hygienist Emma Nelson from the Dental Referral Centre in Dronfield recommends making interdental cleaning a daily habit alongside brushing with fluoride toothpaste. She also advises spitting rather than rinsing after brushing to allow the fluoride to continue protecting your teeth, using mouthwash at a different time of day, and waiting at least 30 minutes after consuming fizzy drinks before brushing to help protect tooth enamel.

Adding products such as DenTek's floss picks or interdental brushes to your daily routine makes it easier to clean between the teeth, supporting healthier gums and a fresher, cleaner smile. Whether you're heading abroad, celebrating with friends or simply enjoying the longer days, a few simple changes to your oral care routine can help keep your smile looking and feeling its best all summer long.

DenTek products are available at Boots, Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Superdrug and through the DenTek website.
