Dental hygienists, our partners in disease prevention, remind us that good oral health is essential for overall health and well-being. They encourage all of us to commit to a good daily oral hygiene routine whose benefits will last a lifetime. All it takes is five simple steps:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth daily.
- Rinse using an antiseptic mouthwash.
- Make healthy food and beverage choices.
- Choose to be tobacco free. Tobacco products can stain your teeth and increase your risk of developing oral cancer.
Add a visit to your dental hygienist every six months and you’ll be smiling.
