Dental hygiene

How to brush your teeth.

A daily routine helps protect your teeth and gums.

AT HOME

Brush twice a day.

Use a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush gently along the gumline and all surfaces of your teeth, including the back teeth.

Brush for about two minutes, including before bed. Spit out the toothpaste afterwards rather than rinsing with water.

Clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes. Ask our hygienist if you’d like advice on your technique.
