Daily dental hygiene is just as important as maintaining your routine dental appointments. Brushing every morning and night for two minutes, will help properly remove plaque buildup. Your dental provider may suggest increasing the amount of times to brush, depending on your diet and the spacing of your teeth.
Use a fluoridated toothpaste. Your dental provider can make a recommendation if you have questions about which toothpaste to use.
Be sure to angle the bristles toward the gum line, brush the outside surface, inside surface, and chewing surface of each tooth thoroughly. Brush your tongue to prevent bad breath and buildup of bacteria. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every three months, and after being sick.
