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.

- 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.
