Dental Health principles to live by

Dental health principles to live by:

• Rinse your mouth after every meal/snack.
• Brush for 2 minutes before your first meal.
• Brush for 2 minutes after your last meal.

How to brush:

• Brush the top/bottom of the molars (the side facing the other set of teeth) religiously.
• Brush all the teeth from the inside.
• Brush the outside last.
• Brush the gums gently if you can.

Tips:

• Avoid alcohol based mouthwashes
• Hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes (medicinal 1% hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes) once a month will help kill existing bacterial growth, if any.
  • Never use hydrogen peroxide mouthwash more than once every 30 days. It kills beneficial bacteria.
