Oral Hygiene Care
What you can do for a healthy mouth
Healthy habits can equal a healthy mouth. Here are some oral health tips to get you started:
BRUSH
Your teeth at least twice a day. When you brush your teeth, you help remove food and plaque — a sticky white film that forms on your teeth and contains bacteria. After you eat a meal or snack that contains sugar, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack tooth enamel.
Floss every day
Clean between your teeth every day
Even if you brush twice a day, there are places your toothbrush bristles can’t reach. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Your dentist or hygienist can show you the right way to floss. It may feel clumsy at first, but don’t give up! It takes time to get the hang of it.
