Our hygienists will demonstrate good brushing and flossing techniques for you at your next scheduled cleaning and checkup.

• Brush teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste including the tongue
• Floss once a day
• Remove dentures at night and clean them thoroughly
• A fluoride mouth rinse, used along with brushing and flossing, can help prevent tooth decay
• Some mouthwashes do kill the bacteria that cause bad breath and plaque build-up, but most are generally cosmetic and do not have a long-lasting effect.
