- Brush your teeth two times a day. Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush for two full minutes. It’s also recommended to replace your toothbrush every few months, or sooner if your bristles are frayed. Canadian Dental Association (CDA) approved fluoride toothpaste is also recommended.
- Floss once a day. Cleaning between your teeth is essential in managing tooth-decaying bacteria. Flossing helps to remove food particles and plaque between the teeth and under your gumline.
- Visit your dentist regularly. Seeing your dentist allows them to stay on top of any red flags regarding your oral health.
- Eat a balanced diet. Vitamins and minerals are essential for your oral health. It’s also important to limit sugary beverages and snacks. Also, drink plenty of water every day.
