Brushing Your Teeth
It is important to clean your teeth for two minutes, twice a day especially last thing at night. You can use an electric or manual toothbrush depending on what you prefer. Just ensure you brush all the surfaces of all your teeth and use fluoride toothpaste.
After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste but don't rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash.
Remember to change your toothbrush or replacement head every 3 months.
Toothpaste
It’s important to use toothpaste with the right level of fluoride. Write about BioMinF and include ppm info, etc.
Interdental Brushes
You can use interdental brushes or an Interspace instead of flossing, especially if your teeth are very close together. Avoid using toothpicks to remove trapped food from between your teeth, as you could make your gums bleed, which can lead to an infection.
Flossing
Flossing isn't just for dislodging food stuck between your teeth. Regular flossing may reduce gum disease and bad breath by removing plaque that forms along the gum line. Floss at least once a day.
Mouthwash
Using a mouthwash that contains fluoride can help prevent tooth decay but don't use mouthwash straight after brushing your teeth. Choose a different time, such as after lunch.
