Dental Tips |

1. Brush your teeth after meals for at least 3 minutes. Regular brushing is a great way to keep the teeth in good condition.
2. Don't brush too hard. Overbrushing can make your gums bleed and teeth sensitive to hot, cold and sweets.
3. Use a mouthwash daily. It helps kill bacteria, that causes bad breath and helps prevent gum disease.
4. Use a toothpaste which contains fluoride. It promotes tooth remineralization and can make a tooth more decay resistant.
5. Don’t eat too much sugar. Sugary foods and drinks encourage tooth decay.
6. Visit your dentist at least twice a year (even when you think it is not necessary) to make sure your teeth are in good condition.
7. Replace your toothbrush every 3 months. A good quality toothbrush provides a better clearing. An electric toothbrush is usually recommended over a regular toothbrush.
8. Stop smoking. Smoking may cause bad breath and easily stains your teeth.
9. Drink plenty water with fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay.
10. Chew sugarless gum, if you can't brush after a meal. It helps to clean the surfaces of your teeth and promotes the flow of saliva.
11. Use detal floss regularly. This will help remove plaque caught between teeth and hard to reach places.
12. Always brush your teeth before bedtime. This is the time when tooth decay can be most active. |
