<\/div>\n
\n\nBelow is a reminder of some key points to remember when it comes to maintaining good oral health:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nRegular Brushing:<\/strong>\u00a0Brush your teeth at least twice a day, for two minutes each time. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Remember NOT to rinse afterwards.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nFlossing:<\/strong>\u00a0Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and debris from between your teeth and under your gum line.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nRoutine Dental Check-ups:<\/strong>\u00a0Visit your dentist regularly (typically every 6 months) for professional cleanings and oral exams. If you suffer for gum disease you may need to visit more regularly (eg every 3-4 months)<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nHealthy Diet:<\/strong>\u00a0Eat a balanced diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nStay Hydrated:<\/strong>\u00a0Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth hydrated and to help wash away food particles.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nLimit Fizzy Drinks, Alcohol and Coffee:\u00a0<\/strong>These beverages can increase your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth staining.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nStop Bad Habits:\u00a0<\/strong>Avoid nail-biting, teeth-grinding, and using your teeth as tools, as these can damage your teeth.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nQuit Smoking:<\/strong>\u00a0Smoking increases your risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nClean Your Tongue:<\/strong>\u00a0Brush or scrape your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n\nUsing Mouthwash:<\/strong>\u00a0Many people with good dental hygiene do not use mouthwash so it is not essential. If you do use mouthwash, consider using an alcohol free, fluoride one to help prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. Please note that mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing or flossing. It can be used in-between brushing to freshen the mouth and help control gum disease or decay for those at high risk.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
