5. Things you should know…
•
Brushing the teeth helps remove plaque and food stuck in
between whilst also preventing the formation of tartar.
•
Plaque is basically a sticky film. It contains bacteria that
cling to the enamel, the base of the teeth, and the gums.
•
Flossing is another factor involved in tooth care. It allows
one to reach areas between the teeth that a normal
toothbrush couldn’t.
6. It is highly recommended
to schedule dental
checkups every six
months; but those who
already have severe oral
diseases or are heavy
smokers should have
appointments frequently.
FUN FACT
7. A person could easily avoid having gingivitis, gum disease, or
cavities by making it a point to brush at least three times a day or
after every other meal.

9. Tips for those
With braces
Use an oral irrigator if you are unable to
floss.
This is an instrument that streams water, the way a normal water hose would, to
clean the mouth. The water pressure has the ability to reach hard-to-reach areas
of the mouth including the gum line and the sides of the molars.
