​5 Tips for Healthy Oral Care

Maintaining good oral health is essential for overall well-being. Here are five tips to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy:

1. Brush Twice Daily

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride.
Brush for at least two minutes each time, reaching all surfaces of your teeth.

2. Floss Daily

Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between teeth, where a toothbrush can't reach.
Use a piece of floss about 18 inches long and gently slide it between your teeth.  
3. See Your Dentist Regularly

Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.
A professional cleaning can help remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Regular check-ups can help identify and address potential dental problems early on.

4. Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks

Sugary foods and drinks can contribute to tooth decay.
Limit your intake of sugary snacks, candies, and soda.
If you do consume sugary foods, rinse your mouth with water afterward.

5. Quit Smoking

Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease and tooth loss.
If you smoke, talk to your doctor about quitting.

By following these tips, you can help maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent dental problems.
