Dental Care Tips
Hi,
Don't take your smile for granted. Maintain good oral health by practicing regular dental care habits and reporting problems to your dentist promptly. Clean your teeth daily and see your dentist one to two times a year to prevent gum disease and other oral health problems.
Brushing for oral health
Follow these tips on how to brush your teeth:
* Brush your teeth at least twice a day and ideally after every meal, using fluoride-containing toothpaste.
* Use a soft-bristled toothbrush — it's gentler on your gums.
* To brush properly, hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and use short back-and-forth motions.
* Brush the inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth.
* Brush your teeth for about two minutes each time you brush.
* Brush your tongue.
* Avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums.
* Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if it becomes frayed.
* Consider using an electric toothbrush, especially if you have arthritis or other problems that make it difficult to brush well.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day: When you brush, don't rush. Take enough time to do a through job.
Use the proper equipment: Use a fluride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Consider using an electric or battery-operated toothbrush, especially if you have arthritis of other problems that make difficult to brush effectively.
Practice good technique: Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and brush with short back and forth motions. Remember to brush the inside and cheing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue. Avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums.
Know when to replace your tooth brush: Invest in a new toothbrush or a replacement head for your electric toothbrush every three to four month or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Hello Friends.....
1.Brush your teeth gently using short strokes. Apply just enough pressure to feel the bristles against the gums.
2.Replace your toothbrush around two to three months or when the bristles are worn. A worn-out toothbrush may injure your gums. Replace your toothbrush after you’ve had a cold.
3.Be sure to reach every tooth. Move the toothbrush around so as to clean all the teeth.
4.Use a fluoride toothpaste
5.Avoid toothbrushes with hard bristles, which can damage your gums. Use a toothbrush with soft, rounded bristles.
6.Ask your dentist to recommend the type of toothbrush that would work best for you
Thanks
