Dental Care & Basic Prevention

Daily Oral Hygiene
 
  • Brush twice a day: Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush for at least 2 minutes.

  • Floss daily: Removes plaque and food particles between teeth that brushing misses.

  • Mouthwash: Antibacterial mouthwash can help reduce plaque and prevent gum disease.

  • Tongue cleaning: Helps remove bacteria and freshens breath.

Diet and Lifestyle
 
  • Limit sugary and acidic foods: Sugar feeds harmful bacteria; acid erodes enamel.

  • Stay hydrated: Water helps wash away food particles and keeps your mouth moist.

  • Avoid tobacco: Smoking increases the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer.

  • Moderate alcohol: Excessive alcohol can dry the mouth and increase cavity risk.

Regular Dental Visits
​
  • Visit your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning.

  • Early detection of problems like cavities or gum disease leads to easier and less costly treatment.

  • Even with good brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. A professional cleaning removes these deposits and helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Dental Care for Children
 
  • Start brushing as soon as the first tooth erupts.

  • Use a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste under 3 years; pea-sized for 3-6 years.

  • First dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of first tooth.

  • Sealants and fluoride treatments can help prevent cavities.

Tips for Healthy Teeth
​
  • Replace toothbrush every 3–4 months.

  • Use a straw when drinking sugary or acidic beverages.

  • Wear a mouthguard during sports.

  • Address teeth grinding (bruxism) with a nightguard if needed.

Gum Disease
(Periodontal Disease)

 
  • Gingivitis: Early stage, reversible with good hygiene.

  • Periodontitis: Advanced stage, can lead to tooth loss if untreated.

  • Symptoms include red, swollen gums, bleeding, and bad breath.
