Oral Hygeine

To maintain good oral hygiene, brush teeth twice daily for two minutes with a manual or electric toothbrush. Bristles should be at a 45-degree angle and not flared out, indicating the need for a new brush. Toothpaste should have appropriate fluoride levels based on age. After brushing, spit and avoid rinsing to maximize fluoride protection. Mouthwash should be used separately from brushing and children should be taught not to swallow it. Interdental cleaning, like flossing or using tepe’s, should be done daily before or after brushing. Online resources can provide guidance on proper hygiene techniques.
