Is there fluoride in the water

In the UK, water fluoridation is implemented in certain regions to help reduce tooth decay. However, it is not uniform across the country. The areas with fluoridated water include parts of the West Midlands, the North East of England, and some areas in Yorkshire. Specifically:

  1. West Midlands: This region has the most extensive water fluoridation coverage in the UK. Most of the population in Birmingham, Coventry, and surrounding areas receive fluoridated water.
  2. North East England: Areas like Newcastle and some parts of County Durham and Northumberland have fluoridated water supplies.
  3. Yorkshire: Some parts of South Yorkshire, particularly in and around the city of Sheffield, also have fluoridated water.

In addition, there are a few smaller schemes in other parts of the UK, but these are less widespread. It’s important to note that not all areas within these regions are covered, and the decision to fluoridate water is typically made at the local level, sometimes in response to public health needs.

In Scotland and Wales, water fluoridation is not widely practiced, with a greater emphasis placed on other forms of fluoride delivery, such as fluoride varnishes and toothpaste.

For up-to-date information on specific areas, you can often check with local water suppliers or public health authorities, as the extent of fluoridation can change over time due to policy decisions.

How do you know if you grind your teeth?

Teeth grinding often happens without you realising — especially at night. In this video, Maggie explains some of the common signs to look out for, including:
• Jaw pain or soreness
• Frequent headaches
• Worn or flattened teeth

She also explains how your dentist can check for signs of grinding and, if needed, provide a mouthguard to help protect your teeth.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be grinding your teeth, this quick video is a great place to start 👇

Can mouthwash replace brushing?

In this short video, Carol explains why brushing for two minutes, twice a day is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy — and why mouthwash should not be seen as a replacement.

She also talks about:
• When mouthwash may be appropriate
• Why mouthwash should only be used if directed by a dentist or hygienist

Simple habits, done properly, make the biggest difference.
