Great oral health is built at home, not in the clinic. Brush twice a day for two full minutes with a soft brush held at a 45-degree angle to the gum line, using gentle circular strokes rather than hard scrubbing.
Flossing once a day cleans the 40 percent of tooth surfaces a brush cannot reach. Curve the floss into a C-shape around each tooth and slide it gently below the gum line. Replace your brush every three months and always choose a fluoride toothpaste.
