Five Things That Will Help You Improve Your Oral Health at Home
8 October 2015 | Blog
Your dental care regime doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive and we have identified five quick tips that can help improve it with minimal fuss.
- Replace your toothbrush every two or three months. Toothbrushes cannot do their job properly if they are worn.
- Brush a minimum of twice a day, preferably first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
- Brush your teeth for at least two minutes each time, spending around 30 seconds on each quarter or quadrant of your mouth.
- If you want to brush after eating, wait at least half an hour so your mouth is less acidic.
- Pick a dental floss you’re happy to use and make sure you floss once-a-day, preferably last thing at night. There are many different types of dental floss so experiment until you find one that is easy for you to use.
