WHY BRUSH? Brushing your teeth after meals and between-meal snacks not only gets rid of the food particles that you can see, it removes plaque from your teeth.
Using a fluoride toothpaste is important because the fluoride can help kill bacteria, as well as making your teeth stronger. |
| Ask you dentist to recommend the best toothbrush for you. A brush with soft, end-rounded or polished bristles is less likely to injure gum tissue. The size and shape of the brush should allow you to reach every tooth. Children may need smaller brushes that those designed for adults. |
 |
|
Remember: worn-out toothbrushes cannot properly clean your teeth and may injure you gums. Toothbrushes should be replaced every three or four months. |
|
|
|
WHY FLOSS? Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line, areas your toothbrush can not reach. Because tooth decay and periodontal disease often start in these area, it is important to clean them thoroughly on a daily basis.
Flossing is a skill that needs to be learnt. Our hygienist will be happy to teach you. With practice, you will find that flossing takes only a few minutes of your time each day. |
|
MOUTH RINSES AND MOUTH WASHES |
| If used as directed, in addition to brushing and flossing, mouth rinses and mouth washes can help to prevent tooth decay. |
|
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SEE MY DENTIST? |
|
| If possible, you should visit your dentist every six months for a preventive check and cleaning. Infants should see a dentist at about twelve months of age. Your dentist will recommend when you should book a further appointment. |
