Tooth care
Good dental hygiene is essential in preserving your teeth for a lifetime. It is important for children to start young with good dental habits. Proper hygiene should include: - daily flossing and twice-daily brushing of the teeth
- use of fluoride toothpaste
- regular dental checkups
- limiting sugar intake
- using a toothbrush with soft bristles (replace the toothbrush with a new one as soon as the bristles become bent)
- having the dentist instruct you on proper brushing and flossing techniques
- being aware that "tartar-controlled" toothpastes have little or no effect on tartar below the gum line and, therefore, will not provide a safeguard against gum disease
