The student life!

Students

It’s that time of the year when students have got their exam results and heading into the world of university life… probably looking forward to Fresher’s week the most!!! (That brings back memories!).

Starting university is a special time in one’s life and I would encourage students to maximise their time there. But as the article points out, dental neglect by students can be a side effect from all the fun!

Fortunately, there are some simple steps that can be taken to help balance this:

1) Using a straw when drinking acidic drinks e.g. fruit juices, fizzy drinks etc

2) not being excessive in the amount of alcohol drunk

3) not forgetting to brush your teeth twice a day (it only takes 2 mins each time!!)

4) keep regular dental check-ups – fit this in when you come home to visit family or friends.

For all the students out there….learn lots but have fun too. 🙂
