• Brushing teeth after every meal.
• Checking to see if bleeding is present during or after brushing. If so you’ll need to brush and floss more often or more thoroughly and need your teeth cleaned professionally.
• Flossing at least once per day using proper flossing methods. Not flossing allows bacteria to build up to dangerous levels.
• Decreasing the quantity and frequency of your sugar consumption. Sugar helps plaque grow.
• Visiting your dentist twice a year.
• Using a high quality electric tooth bruth such as the Rota-Dent® toothbrush which has patented microfilament brush tips designed to reach underneath the gum line and in-between the teeth.
