The Ultimate Guide for a Healthier, Brighter Smile

How to Take Care of Your Teeth

1. Brush your teeth two times every day.

   Once in the morning and once before bed, so your teeth stay clean and

    happy.

2. Use a small bit of toothpaste – just a little pea-sized blob.

    That’s enough to clean your teeth well

3. Use a soft toothbrush.

     It should feel gentle, not scratchy.

4. Floss once every day.

    Floss gets food out from between your teeth where the brush can’t reach.

5. Rinse your mouth with water after you eat or snack.

    This helps wash away sugar and food bits.

6. Eat healthy foods and drink water.

    Try not to eat too many candies, sticky snacks, or fizzy drinks, they can hurt your teeth.

7. Go to the dentist two times a year for a checkup and cleaning to keep your      teeth strong.

8. Wait 45 minutes after eating before you brush.

    Just rinse with water first. Brushing right after can hurt your enamel.

9. Let your toothbrush dry after using it.

    Don’t cover it up, it needs to stay clean and dry.

10. Get a new toothbrush when the bristles look messy.

      If the hairs look bent or fuzzy, it’s time for a new one.
