Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to brush my teeth?
Brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste is the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
How often should I floss?
Flossing once a day is recommended to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth and around the gum line.
Should I use a mouthwash?
Mouthwash can help reduce plaque and gingivitis, and freshen your breath. It is recommended to use it at least twice a day.
What is the difference between a toothbrush and an electric toothbrush?
A toothbrush is a manual tool used to clean your teeth and gums. An electric toothbrush is a powered tool that may be more effective in removing plaque and debris from your teeth.
What foods should I avoid to maintain good dental hygiene?
Foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrates should be avoided as they can cause tooth decay. It is also important to limit acidic foods and drinks, as they can erode the enamel of your teeth.
