The Pillars of At-Home Oral Care

Brushing

Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time. Use a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste. Angle the brush at 45 degrees towards the gumline and use gentle, circular motions to clean all surfaces of your teeth.

Flossing

Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and food from between your teeth where your toothbrush can't reach. Curve the floss in a 'C' shape against each tooth and slide it gently under the gumline.

Tongue Cleaning

Gently brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria that can cause bad breath.

Healthy Diet

Limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, which feed the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
