Brushing:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Be sure to brush all tooth surfaces, including the backs and chewing surfaces.
Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.
Flossing:
Clean between your teeth daily with dental floss or other interdental cleaners.
Flossing removes plaque and food particles that brushing can't reach, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Diet:
Eat a healthy diet that limits sugary beverages and snacks.
Sugary foods and drinks contribute to tooth decay by feeding bacteria in the mouth, which produce acids that can damage tooth enamel.
Choose nutritious snacks like cheese, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables.
Professional Dental Care:
Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.
Early detection of oral health problems can prevent them from worsening and requiring more extensive treatment.
