1. Brush Twice a Day – The Right Way
Brushing morning and night is non-negotiable. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums and use gentle circular motions. Don’t forget to brush your tongue—it helps reduce bad breath and bacteria
2. Floss Daily
Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between teeth where your brush can’t reach. This prevents cavities and gum disease. Gently slide the floss between teeth and curve it around each tooth to clean properly.
3. Rinse with Mouthwash
A good mouthwash helps kill bacteria, freshens breath, and reduces plaque. Choose an alcohol-free, fluoride-based mouthwash for daily use.
4. Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods
Sugar feeds harmful bacteria in your mouth, leading to cavities. Acidic foods and drinks can wear down tooth enamel. Enjoy them in moderation, and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
5. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water washes away food particles and bacteria while keeping your mouth moist. It also helps balance your mouth’s pH, protecting your teeth from decay.
6. Change Your Toothbrush Regularly
Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. Worn-out brushes don’t clean effectively.
7. Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Even with perfect home care, professional cleanings and check-ups are essential every 6 months. At ORAA CARE Smile Dental Clinic, we help you detect and treat problems early—before they become painful or costly.
Remember: A few minutes of care each day can save you from years of dental trouble. Your smile is one of your best assets—protect it with consistent oral hygiene habits.
