Protect your pearly whites at home in 5 simple steps
(NC) Dental hygienists, our partners in disease prevention, know that good oral health is essential for overall health and well-being. They show us how to take care of our teeth and gums at every appointment and encourage us to commit to a consistent oral hygiene routine at home. Five simple steps is all it takes:
- Brush teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between teeth daily.
- Rinse using an antibacterial mouthwash once a day.
- Make healthy food and beverage choices.
- Eliminate tobacco use.
Coupled with regular dental hygiene appointments, your home oral hygiene routine can offer powerful protection for your pearly whites.
