Oral Health Tips

We recommend the following dental care steps for achieving healthy teeth and gums;

Brush with a soft round bristle toothbrush
Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
Change your toothbrush after an illness
When you’re brushing your teeth along the gum line, make sure to angle your brush 45 degrees – so it goes against your teeth and gums
Move your toothbrush back and forth in small, round strokes
The correct brushing motion is more like massaging along the gum line rather than vigorous brushing

Other dental care steps, which can help maintain your natural teeth for life, include;

Use toothpaste with added fluoride
In order to stop plaque from forming between teeth, you should floss your teeth daily
Floss against the end-side of the tooth and scale the floss up-and-down several times
Stock dental floss in your purse, at your office desk and in your car for use when needed
Your tongue is a major source of plaque and bad breath.

Brush your tongue gently with your toothbrush twice daily (when you brush your teeth)
