Toothbrush:
A toothbrush is always needed to keep in your home for your smile and should be replaced every three to four months. Your toothbrush is the key element to maintaining plaque and bacteria off the vast areas of your teeth. Remember to brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes every single day. Remember to use a soft-bristled toothbrush that is gentle on the tooth enamel but strong enough to remove the plaque from your teeth.
Toothpaste:
Toothpaste is a crucial item needed to clean your teeth thoroughly. There is an ocean of toothpaste at the supermarket to choose from making it hard to decide which one to choose. When buying toothpaste, remember to buy one that fights cavities.
Floss:
Dental flossing tools come in various options and should be used daily. Dental floss is essential because it wipes away plaque and bacteria from between your teeth. The rule on dental floss is, no matter which dental floss you choose, remember any dental floss is better than no dental floss ever.
