Do you know the proper way to BRUSH and FLOSS? Here are some important ways to keep your smile healthy:
- Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Brushing before bedtime removes plaque which leads to gum disease and tooth decay.
- Replace your toothbrush every three months.
- Be sure to floss at least once daily.
- Flossing removes food particles and plaque between teeth which leads to gum disease and tooth decay.
- Start with enough floss, 18 inches is good, so that you can use a fresh section as you go along.
Have orthodontic braces or a bridge? Ask Griswold Dental to show you techniques to help you to make flossing more effective in those areas. |
