Healthy Habits

Brushing

Its never too late to start developing healthy habits.Even if till this stage of life you have for some reason been negligent about your oral hygiene,the time to start is now.

Brushing your teeth is the cornerstone of any good oral hygiene routine. To keep your teeth and gums healthy, always be sure to brush your teeth twice a day with a soft- bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily. Also, don't forget to replace your toothbrush every three or four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.

Healthy Habits

A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth. Finally, make sure to use a toothpaste containing fluoride containing toothpaste.

Flossing

Healthy Habits

Flossing goes hand in hand with brushing. By flossing once a day, you help to remove plaque from between your teeth in areas where the toothbrush can't reach. This is extremely important because plaque that is not removed by brushing and flossing can eventually harden into calculus or tartar. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
