💡 Passion: Committed to promoting oral health because every smile matters
🌟 Approach: Gentle & thorough care with practical dental health advice
🗨️ Let's discuss how good oral health is important for good overall health

08/05/2025

🇬🇧 Today marks 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE) Day, when the guns fell silent across Europe and World War II came to an end on 8th May 1945.

As The Helpful Hygienist, I’m taking a moment to honour the courage, resilience, and sacrifices of those who lived through this historic time.

Imagine the smiles, the tears, and the relief shared across the country—many of them generations behind the smiles we care for today.
Oral health might seem like a small thing in comparison, but it’s part of the bigger picture of well-being, dignity, and self-care—even in the toughest times.

Let’s remember them not just in silence, but in the way we live: with compassion, courage, and community spirit 🌟

💖I had the honour of being interviewed by the lovely .quilliam for the Mad With The Menopause podcast!

We had an amazing chat all about how the mouth can be affected by the hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause—something that often gets overlooked but is so important for overall health.

Anél also asked me about my own experience of surgical menopause and my decision to live a sober life—two topics close to my heart ❤️

The episode is available to listen to now—please tune in! 🙏🏼

🚨 Bleeding gums is NOT normal! 🚨

If your gums bleed when you brush, floss, or even when you bite into something crunchy — that’s your body waving a big red flag! 🚩

Bleeding gums is a sign of inflammation. It means your gums are irritated, unhealthy, and your body is trying to tell you something isn’t right. Healthy gums should never bleed.

💡 Bleeding gums can be caused by:
👉 Plaque buildup
👉 Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
👉 Poor oral hygiene habits
👉 Hormonal changes
👉 Certain medications

The good news? It can often be reversed with the right care!

🪥 Don’t avoid brushing or flossing because of the bleeding — that’s exactly when your gums need it most!

💖Happy Mothering Sunday from Sarah the Helpful Hygienist 🪥💐

Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate all the wonderful mums, mothering figures, and anyone out there showing love, care, and support in their own special way.
You are seen, valued, and appreciated more than you know….. especially my lovely Mam 🥰

I also want to gently acknowledge that today isn’t easy for everyone.
For those missing a special person, for those who find today bittersweet or difficult — you are in my thoughts too 🤗🌷

Here’s to the love, strength, and kindness that shapes us all.

🛑 Please stop using extra hard toothbrushes! 🚫🪥

Those “smoker’s” brushes sold to scrub off stains can actually cause lasting damage.
The hard bristles wear away your enamel and make your gums recede — leading to sensitivity and damage that can’t be reversed.

You can’t scrub stains away without harming your teeth. Use a soft toothbrush, gentle pressure, and let your dental professional safely clean away stains.

Be kind to your smile! ✨

⭐️ HAPPY WEDNESDAY ⭐️

One of my younger followers turned one of my top tips into a poster for their school project about teeth — and it’s honestly made my day! It’s a gold star ⭐ from me.

Learning the importance of good oral health from a young age is so powerful.
Let’s keep sharing the message and encouraging healthy smiles everywhere!

This one really made me smile I hope it makes you
too 😁
