Keeping Your Teeth Clean !!!

• Brush your teeth twice a day using a fluoride tooth paste.
• Replace your toothbrush every three or four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
• A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
• Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdentally cleaner. Decay - causing bacteria sill linger between teeth where tooth brush bristles can't reach. This helps to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.
• Eat a balanced diet and limit between snacks.
• Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleaning and oral checkups.

Antimicrobial mouth rinses and toothpastes reduce the bacterial count and inhibit bacterial activity in dental plaque, which can cause gingivitis, an early, reversible form of periodontal (gum) disease.

Fluoride mouth rinses help reduce and prevent tooth decay. Clinical studies have demonstrated that use of a fluoride mouth rinse and fluoride toothpaste can provide extra protection against tooth decay over that provided by fluoride toothpaste alone. Fluoride mouth rinse is not recommended for children age six or younger because they may swallow the rinse. Consumers should always check the manufacturer's label for precautions and age recommendations and talk with their dentist about the use of fluoride mouth rinse.

Talk to dentist what types of oral care products will be most effective for you.
