- Brush twice a day with a flouride toothpaste thoroughly, as your hygienist or dentist shows you. A good technique makes all the difference to get to all the hard to reach areas.
- Clean between the teeth once a day using floss/interfloss/interdental brushes as advised by your hygienist or dentist. It may sem like a chore initially but becomes very quick and easy with practice. Remember all the food debris and plaque left between your teeth if you only brush...
- Use a soft/medium brush with a small head. If you use an electric/sonic brush be sure to ask your hygienist's advice on the best technique. Incorrect use of some brushes can cause gum recession.
