Teeth cleaning - try using a
three-sided toothbrush that cleans all surfaces. One example is the
Superbrush, from Dentocare Limited on 0208 459 7550.
Teeth grinding - Many parents are worried
about their daughter or son’s teeth grinding. Dr Vicky Slonims says that
once this becomes a habitual pattern it can be very difficult to stop.
Distraction is a good technique, but not always easy to maintain. She
suggests you speak to your dentist, if you’re really worried, about using a
gum shield or tooth guard.
