Five everyday habits that protect your teeth.

Good oral health is built in the small moments between appointments.

Healthy smile

Prevention does not need to be complicated. A few consistent habits help reduce plaque, protect enamel, and keep your gums healthier.

Brush twice a day

Use a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste. Spend two minutes covering every surface gently rather than scrubbing hard.

Clean between your teeth

Floss, interdental brushes, or water flossers remove plaque where a toothbrush cannot reach.

Pay attention to frequency

Frequent sugary snacks and drinks give bacteria more opportunities to produce acids. Keep them with meals when possible.

Protect your teeth

Use a mouthguard for contact sports, avoid using teeth as tools, and talk to your dentist if you grind at night.

Keep your reviews

Professional checkups help you stay ahead of changes and keep your home routine on track.
