SDC preventive care tips: proper toothbrushing technique


Preventive care is the KEY to maintaining your health. While regular visits to the dentist are essential, good home care is just as important to maintaining your oral health.

Learn to brush like a PRO to prevent decay and have a healthy mouth and smile with these 6 easy steps:

1-Proper brushing should be done at least twice daily and take at least two minutes. 2-Use a soft bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste. 3-Tilt the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle to the gumline. 4-Use short back and forth strokes and gently brush the outer, inner and chewing surfaces of the teeth. 5-Brush your tongue gently to remove bacteria and freshen your breath. 6-Replace your toothbrush when the bristles begin to fray or every 3-4 months.

A healthy mouth is essential to maintain your overall health and have a confident smile.
