How you can best care for your teeth

Brush your teeth well twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.

Thorough cleaning can reduce the risk of decay or gum problems starting, or slow the rate they progress at. It also produces fresher breath and a cleaner feel to the teeth and mouth.

Cleaning between your teeth with floss or interdental cleaners removes bacteria and food particles from between the teeth, where a toothbrush can't reach.

It is important to have regular dental check-ups.
