Brush Twice a day
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush gently in circular motions for a minimum of two minutes in the morning and before bedtime, making sure to clean all surfaces of your teeth.
Floss Daily
Brush can't reach all areas, so remove food particles and plaque. Use some 18 inches of dental floss, with most wrapped around your fingers. Slide the floss between teeth in a "C" shape, or opt for a water flosser for ease.
Mouth Wash
Rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash that has fluoride and antibacterial ingredients. A 30-second rinse following brushing and flossing kills any remaining bacteria and leaves breath fresh
Clean Your Tongue
Tongue bacteria is a common cause of bad breath. Clean the surface of the tongue with a tongue scraper or your toothbrush.
Adopt a Tooth- Friendly Diet
Restrict sugary and acidic foods. Adopt foods that are rich in calcium such as dairy and greens, and consume lots of water to remove food particles.
Replace Your Toothbrush Regularly
●When: Every 3-4 months or sooner if the bristles become worn out. ●Why: A fresh toothbrush cleans more effectively, ensuring you remove plaque and bacteria efficiently
Regular Check-Ups
Change your toothbrush every 3-4 months and see your dentist for check-ups and early issue identification every six months.
By following these habits, you guarantee long-term oral health and a sparkling smile!
