Caring for your Mouth
Brush your teeth before going to bed at night and at least one other time during the day with toothpaste containing fluoride
Clean in between your teeth at least once a day using interdental brushes or floss
To check if you have bad breath, lick your wrist, let it dry and give it a sniff. If it smells, your breath probably does too
If you use mouthwash, don’t use it directly after brushing as you rinse away the fluoride from your toothpaste
Quit smoking to help reduce the chances of tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss, and in more severe cases, mouth cancer
Make sure your toothpaste contains fluoride; it helps strengthen tooth enamel making it more resistant to decay
Change your toothbrush every two to three months or sooner if it becomes worn as it will not clean the teeth properly
