If you have a dry mouth, tell your dental team.

They may recommend one of the many products that are available over the counter to help relieve the symptoms.

The Tooth Fairy wants us to remind you to make sure that when you send her a letter to add the correct postage. Her coin purse doesn't always have enough change for the postman if she's been out rewarding all the children for their clean teeth!

Using non-dental products to clean your teeth can be harmful.

This could damage your gums and teeth leading to painful injuries and infections.

Ask your dental team for recommendations on what to use for your mouth.
