Our Dental Floss-ophies

This World Oral Health Day be proud of your mouth! Caring for your teeth and gums can improve all aspects of your life from self-confidence to your overall health. Here are our dental floss-ophies to keep your smile healthy and happy:

• Brush for two minutes, twice a day, using a fluoride toothpaste.
  • Toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste helps remove food and plaque and prevent gum disease or tooth decay.
• Floss at least once a day and never reuse floss.
  • Flossing helps reach those difficult areas between your teeth and can prevent gum disease and bad breath.
• Replace your toothbrush every three months or after you’ve been sick.
  • Brushing with an old, frayed toothbrush won’t be able to clean your mouth properly.
• Avoid sharing personal items like toothbrushes with people who are ill.
  • Sharing items like toothbrushes means that you may be sharing oral diseases.
