Flossing helps clean the gaps between your teeth that are hard to reach with a toothbrush. Do it before bedtime to remove plaque and trapped food, preventing the formation of cavities and gum disease.
Brushing your teeth too often (more than 3 times a day) or with excessive pressure can damage tooth enamel and cause gum recession.
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid damaging the gums.
Brush your teeth for 2 minutes as this is the most effective duration.
Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when the bristles are damaged.
In addition to brushing your teeth, use a tongue scraper or brush to clean your tongue once a day.
Antibacterial mouthwash helps reduce plaque and fight bad breath.
