Brush Regularly

Brushing is the cornerstone of dental hygiene. It removes food particles that bacteria feed on, cleans teeth, and freshens breath. A toothpaste with fluoride helps strengthen teeth, but you must brush for at least two minutes to allow it to do its work

Floss Daily

Flossing removes the bacteria from in between your teeth that your toothbrush does not reach, which helps prevent gum disease. Do flossing

twice a day.

Visit Your Dentist

Visit your dentist at least twice a year. Your dentist can spot the early signs of gum disease.If you notice signs of trouble, make an extra dental appointment to have them checked out. Pregnant women, people with diabetes, undergoing chemotherapy treatment or using medications that can affect the gums or dry out the mouth should consider dental-hygiene regimen.

Eat a Healthy Diet
