Basic Dental Care: A Daily Routine for Healthy Teeth and Gums

Basic dental care combines effective cleaning, sensible eating habits and dental reviews suited to your needs. Small habits done consistently help protect teeth and gums.

Clean teeth and the spaces between them

Brush gently for about two minutes twice daily using fluoride toothpaste and a soft toothbrush. Clean between teeth each day with floss or a suitable interdental cleaner. Ask your dentist to demonstrate a method if gaps, braces or dexterity make this difficult. Mouthwash does not replace brushing.

Reduce repeated sugar exposure

Choose balanced meals and limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks. Plain water is a useful everyday drink. Avoid tobacco, and do not use teeth to open objects or chew hard items that may fracture them.

Plan reviews around your risk

The best interval between dental reviews depends on your oral health, previous disease and treatment needs. A dentist can advise when professional cleaning or preventive treatment is appropriate. Do not wait for a routine visit if you have pain, swelling, persistent bleeding or a broken tooth.
