In a recent Zoom conference about mouth health hosted by Zendium, authoritative experts including Dr Rupy Aujla (NHS GP and Sunday Times bestselling author The Doctor’s Kitchen, Eat to Beat Illness and The Doctor’s Kitchen 3-2-1), Dr Jenna Macciochi (Immunologist with +20 years experience and author of The Science of Staying Well), Dr Victoria Sampson (Dentist and author of numerous oral health papers both in the UK and internationally) have identified interesting oral care trends for 2021.

The speakers also highlighted simple tips on how to take care of our teeth, which I’m sharing here.
