Tips for good oral health

Which tips will you be trying as part of your daily routine to help take care of your mouth?

Brush longer to keep your teeth stronger!

Brushing your teeth for 2 minutes gives you time to brush all the sides and surfaces of your teeth and gums and helps you set up a brushing routine!

Skip the sweets to protect your teeth!

By limiting your sugary foods and drinks, you can reduce your risk of tooth decay starting!

Spit don’t rinse!

By not rinsing out the toothpaste, fluoride remains on your teeth for longer, helping to protect against tooth decay.

The best care is in the dental chair

Visiting a dental professional regularly helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, plus helps detect dental problems early, before they become more serious!
