Mike Molar

Our tooth mascot who loves to dance and can sometimes be found getting up to mischief with his big toothbrush (poor Marilyn i don’t think she needed her hair brushed with Mike’s toothbrush!). We don’t usually let Mike go out on his own so if you spot him somewhere then look for a Team member as they are usually giving out stickers and sometimes tooth paste, sometimes sugar free (safe flat) lollies, and activity sheets and if you take a selfie with Mike and tag us in it on Facebook then we enter you in a draw to win prizes.

Unsure if you want your teeth checked come in and visit us, meet the team, have a drink, collect a sticker and have a read at our book.

(it’s under the table next to the fridge).

MOUSEHOLES

Did you know Dental Teams love cheese? Cheese is such a good snack for teeth.
Do you know who else loves cheese? Mice
Come see what our mice are up to.
(cheese has high levels of phosphate and calcium which naturally strengthen teeth and bones & it also helps balance the pH level in your mouth, which means less harmful acid, more cleansing saliva and fewer cavities - think of your cheeseboard at the end of a meal - safer snacks)

Our Ohh! Dental Dog

Bayley our 4 legged diva, loves having her teeth brushed. Bayley loves LIVER flavoured toothpaste (yuk) & sometimes CHICKEN flavoured (hmmm no still yuk chicken flavoured toothpaste is bleurgh!).

Dogs cannot have human toothpaste as it is very harmful for them and would make them very poorly.

BUT dogs should get their teeth brushed just like us. They need special dog toothbrushes and dog toothpaste.

Bayley always has lovely white healthy teeth and nice fresh breath (well OK…. sometimes liver and chicken smelling straight after toothbrushing).

If you have a dog that does not like having their teeth brushed then you could try dental chews and/or chew toys. Just be careful not to give too many dental chews one every one or two days would be enough.

Bayley’s teeth have a lot of work to do as dogs use their mouths for more than just eating,

they use them to play, explore and taste a lot of their surroundings too.

To begin toothbrush training choose a time when your dog is comfortable and relaxed, take it slowly and keep it short. Stop whilst your dog is still happy.

Introduce the special dog toothpaste first on your finger and get your dog to lick it off, after your dog has shown that they enjoy the toothpaste, start to run your finger along the inside of their mouth following the gum line.

After a few days of introducing finger brushing your dog is ready to start tooth brushing, Start gently with the front teeth first using gentle round motions stop often to let them taste and lick the toothbrush as a reward. After a couple of weeks you should be able to do all the teeth.
