Practicing good oral hygiene at home is important for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. Home dental care should include the following:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between teeth daily with floss. Decay causing bacteria lingers between teeth where toothbrush bristles cant reach. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks.
- Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.
