The Right Way to Brush and Floss Your Teeth

Daily dental care is your first line of defense against tooth decay and gum disease, and a few simple habits make a big difference in the long run.

Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss once a day to remove debris between your teeth.

Don’t forget to visit your dentist every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning — early detection saves you from longer, more expensive treatments.
