Dental pain is arguably one of the worst pains to deal with, but many put their oral health on a back burner.
The ECHO has previously reported concerns from a health charity who warned it “might be years” before patients can access an NHS dentist in Liverpool. In its assessment of NHS dentistry in the city, Healthwatch Liverpool has said some people are being forced “out of desperation” to use their savings to pay for vital dental care owing to the apparent lack of public health options.
Dentists have said making simple changes can help improve your oral hygiene and would likely lead to less urgent trips to the dentist. The ECHO has spoken to MJ Rowland-Warmann, of Smile Works in Liverpool One and Dr Salman Khan, of Baycliff Dental Surgery, who have told of the worst things you can do to your teeth, and some of them were surprising.
