Find some top tips to improve/maintain your oral health:

• Brushing: Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste.
• In Between Teeth: Clean between your teeth at least once a day using interdental brushes or floss.
• Mouthwash: Don’t use mouthwash right after you’ve brushed because rinsing away the fluoride from your tooth paste.
• Smoking: Quit smoking to reduce the risks of stain formation on the teeth, gingivitis, tooth loss, and in more severe cases mouth cancer.
• Fluoride: Make sure your toothpaste contains fluoride; it helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
• Toothbrush: You should change your tooth brush no less than once every six months or sooner if it becomes worn so as to keep it clean.
• Dentist: Visit your dentist as often as they recommend.
• Eating/Drinking: Wait one hour after eating or drinking anything before brushing in the morning as then that enamel will be softened and you might accidentally brush away tiny particles.
• Diet: A varied diet that provides vitamins, minerals, and fresh vegetables and fruits can help to minimise gum disease.
• Weaning: The earlier wean your child off the bottle, the better off they’ll be for preventing problems like dental problems later in life.
• Children: Supervise your children’s tooth brushing until they are about 7 years old.
