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.
