#87 Keeping a Healthy Smile

In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Anne O’Neill, Oral Health Lead, HSE, talks about the importance of dental check-ups and the significant connection between oral health and overall well-being.

 

Dr. O'Neill provides practical tips on brushing and flossing, highlighting the impact of diet on dental health, providing tips for parents when it comes to their children’s dental routines and about building in regular daily times to do those small oral health habits at a young age.

 

The discussion also focuses on changes to dental practices, specifically about how dental amalgam is no longer being used in fillings, due to a new EU directive. For more information visit www.brushmyteeth.ie
