Brushing twice a day is vital to maintain strong, clean and healthy teeth. Brushing your teeth is paramount for white teeth and healthy gums and it is vital to start when a child’s first tooth arrives. Until a child can adequately brush their teeth for themselves, it is important that an adult assists.

Using mouthwash and flossing should be part of your twice a day dental routine. Mouthwash and dental floss assist in removing any leftover bacteria, food and plaque that is left on the teeth after brushing.

Maintaining a healthy diet will also limit the amount of sugar and acids your teeth come into contact with and will help avoid tooth decay and cavities.
