Keep your
teeth, mouth and gums healthy by keeping to the simple steps to good oral hygiene:
-
Brush thoroughly twice a day.
-
Replace your toothbrush when
the bristles wear down.
-
Floss for extra cleanliness.
-
Visit your dentist regularly.
Children
under 3 years should have their teeth brushed for them by a parent twice daily.
Children between 4-7 years should be supervised, ideally allowing the child to
brush by themselves with a parent watching in the morning and for the parent to
brush the child's teeth in the evening.
