Mouth & Oral Care

Looking after your oral health

A good routine — brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and regular dental check-ups — is the foundation of oral health. From there you can add targeted products: sensitivity toothpastes for twinges, antibacterial mouthwashes like Corsodyl for gum problems, dry-mouth products for comfort, and treatments for mouth ulcers. Our pharmacy team can help you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toothpaste is best for sensitive teeth?

Sensitivity toothpastes (such as Sensodyne) are formulated to help protect against the twinges of sensitive teeth with regular use.

What can I use for bleeding or sore gums?

Antibacterial mouthwashes and gum-health toothpastes can help, but bleeding gums that persist should be checked by your dentist, as they can be a sign of gum disease.

How can I treat a dry mouth?

Dry-mouth sprays, gels and lozenges help keep the mouth moist and comfortable. If dry mouth is persistent, mention it to your dentist or pharmacist as it can have several causes.
