Dental health

Good oral hygiene is necessary to maintain a healthy mouth. This involves effective, mechanical removal of bacterial plaque from the teeth and from between the teeth every day.  You and your family can maintain good oral health by:

  • Brushing twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
  • Clean in between teeth at least once a day with floss or an interdental brush.
  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit sugar intake.
  • Regularly visit the dentist for check-ups and preventative treatment.
