What is Good Oral Hygiene?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly.
Taking Care of Your Teeth
Thanks to better at-home care and in-office dental treatments, more people are
keeping their teeth throughout their lives. Some diseases and conditions can
make dental disease and tooth loss more likely.
How to Brush
Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that's right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long
How to Floss
Proper flossing removes plaque and food particles in places where a toothbrush cannot easily reach — under the gumline and between your teeth. Because plaque build-up can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, daily flossing is highly recommended.
