Dental health

Visiting your dentist regularly is one of the ways you can keep your mouth and teeth healthy, that’s why dental care is one of our top priorities.

There are over 60 NHS dental practices in Wiltshire providing a range of NHS dental health services. You don't have to wait until you have a dental problem to book an appointment though – it’s a good idea to join a practice as soon as possible, as visiting your dentist regularly is one of the ways you can ensure you keep your mouth and teeth healthy.

Three simple steps to a healthy mouth and teeth

1. Brush teeth thoroughly twice a day using a toothpaste containing fluoride.

2. Limit how often you eat or drink anything sugary – it’s best to keep these treats to mealtimes only.

3. Visit your dentist once a year for a check-up.
