Reduce, reuse, recycle

             The HUMBLE BRUSH

It is everyone's duty to take steps to protect the environment, reduce pollution and provide clean air and water.

We should reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and consider it's long term affects on wildlife  and marine life.





The Humble Brush is an eco-friendly toothbrush. The handle is made from biodegradable bamboo and the bristle are nylon-6 which degrades quicker than lower grade plastics.
This manual toothbrush has the recommended sized head and is available in soft or medium texture and a variety of colours.


Check out their website www.humblebrush.com

We ask patients from the practice to try out the Humble Brush. 80% said they were likely to recommend the brush to friend or colleague and that they were comparable with other manual toothbrushes. They particularly like the fact that the brush is made from natural fibres and is biodegradable.

Here's what they had to say;

"It is a good product and given the urgent need to reduce the use of plastics, is an excellent product."

"It is made from natural materials. The handle is biodegradable and I like the charity element
 of the product."

"We love the idea of the Humble Brush"


"This brush is comfortable to use and worked well. The fact it is biodegradable and sourced responsibly is a great step forward."

We will be stocking the Humble Brush from mid August.

Flossy's Top Tips


Throughout July we will be sharing Top Tips to help you keep your mouth healthy.

Many of our messages will be aimed at parents and carers to encourage children to develop good habits at a young age.

Remember dental disease is PREVENTABLE.

First let me introduce you to FLOSSY



She is our friendly tooth brushing bear and her name has been chosen by you the public.

FLOSSY  will be sharing her top tips with you during July.

Children often hurry when brushing. They can be tired and generally reluctant to brush. 
These are common problems and how you tackle it will depend upon the the individual and age.



Top Tips

1. Ask your child to imagine their mouth is divided into four sections and brush each section for 30 seconds.



2. To reach for back teeth get your child to roar like a panda bear.



3. Remember brush for ....
 


  

A 2 minute timer is a great idea.

4. Make it fun.
Fill in a tooth brushing chart.

Brush to a favourite song.




5. Download an app!

An Brush DJ for those a little older.





6. Brushing with older siblings can help.
