Dental Care Tips
The first step in proper dental care is to brush your teeth twice a day (morning and night), for at least 2 minutes.
- Using a battery-powered toothbrush is much more effective than a regular toothbrush and takes all the work out of brushing.
- Using mouthwash after brushing will freshen your breath and kill the bacteria that can cause bad breath.
- Use a toothbrush that has a soft brush and round bristles. This type of toothbrush will clean more effectively.
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and work along the gum line using short, gentle strokes.
