We would love to know if there is other content you are looking for which we could offer. Please send us your suggestions click here.
Erosive tooth wear and the BEWE
A practical introduction to the BEWE
This video provides a practical demonstration of the BEWE examination for everyday practice and features Professor David Bartlett and Dr Saoirse O’Toole from Kings College London.
Why should I use the BEWE?
In this video Professor David Bartlett discusses the importance of using the BEWE for patients at risk of erosive tooth wear.
Maximising intraoral fluoride
Pronamel toothpaste contains 1450ppm fluoride in an optimised formulation designed to maximise intraoral fluoride. By omitting components that inhibit fluoride uptake, this unique Pronamel dual-action formulation enhances remineralisation and inhibits demineralisation, strengthening and protecting enamel.
Find out more about the need to monitor erosive tooth wear
This article written by members of the expert working party outlines the need to take practical steps to record and monitor erosive tooth wear in daily practice and highlights the potential risks if signs are ignored. It was originally featured in the British Dental Journal.
Brush up on CPD articles
Download this supplement with two articles to help you learn more about BEWE and erosive tooth wear:
- Recognising and recording erosive tooth wear in clinical practice by Dr Saoirse O’Toole, Kings College London

BEWE quick reference guide
This guide can be downloaded and printed for a quick access reminder of the BEWE scoring system and codes.
Periodontal disease management including the new S3 level guidelines
Sodium bicarbonate enhances plaque removal
Corsodyl Daily Gum Health Toothpaste contains sodium bicarbonate, which penetrates the plaque layer, disrupting the sticky polysaccharide matrix and loosening the structural integrity of the biofilm, which enhances the physical removal of plaque.
Addressing oral health inequalities – Periodontal Disease and its classification
Confused about the implications of recent perio guidance? This article gives oversight on the current guidance on prevention and diagnosis of periodontal disease and outlines the support Haleon provide to dental professionals for prevention led care every day.
#BeGumWise patient touchpoint journey planner
This document developed as part of the #BeGumWise campaign highlights opportunities to communicate with patients outside of dental appointments to reinforce behaviour change messages for gum health.
Managing dentine hypersensitivity
Patient-reported outcomes
Watch Barry Gibson, Professor of Medical Sociology at the School of Clinical Dentistry, University of Sheffield, UK, discuss the importance of patient-reported outcomes.
Why develop the DHEQ?
Watch Peter Robinson, Head of Bristol Dental School and Professor of Dental Public Health at the University of Bristol, UK, discuss why the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) was developed.
NovaMin helps protect against hypersensitivity
On making contact with saliva, NovaMin initiates a cascade of ionic exchanges, resulting in a rise in local pH level. This allows NovaMin particles to bind to collagen fibres in exposed dentine. Once bound, NovaMin particles act as calcium and phosphate reservoirs, forming a robust hydroxyapatite-like layer over exposed dentine tubules to help protect against dentine hypersensitivity pain.
Stannous fluoride formulation accelerates occlusion of exposed dentine tubules
Sensodyne stannous fluoride formulations have a balance of active stannous fluoride and bio-adhesive polymer which accelerates occlusion of dentine tubules, providing relief from dentine hypersensitivity.
Denture
Biting ability
Dentures only restore one fifth of the masticatory efficiency of natural teeth. As a result, many patients cannot eat certain foods and are forced to adjust to a less interesting and nutritious diet.
Denture oral environment
Even if a denture looks clean, its surface can have pores and crevices that provide undisturbed habitats for microbial penetration and biofilm formation. Most pores are many times smaller than the width of a toothbrush bristle, making mechanical cleaning difficult.
The role of fixatives
The oral musculature and functional movements of eating and speaking exert pressure on the dentures causing them to move in the mouth. Fixatives can help secure the denture.
White paper on guidelines for the use of denture adhesives and their benefits for oral and general health
These guidelines sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline and developed by the Oral Health Foundation, guide dental professionals on the optimal use of denture adhesive creams. These are supported by best evidence and based on consensus from key international experts.
White paper on optimal care and maintenance of full dentures for oral and general health
Developed by a global expert taskforce as part of the Oral Health Foundation, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline these guidelines provide guidance on optimal denture care. Supported by best evidence, they are based on consensus from key international experts.
