Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best technique for brushing my teeth?

To effectively clean your teeth, use a soft-bristled brush and gently move it in a circular motion, ensuring you reach all surfaces of each tooth.

How often should I replace my toothbrush?

You should replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Can mouthwash replace brushing or flossing?

No, mouthwash is an adjunct to brushing and flossing, not a replacement; it can help reduce bacteria and freshen breath but cannot remove plaque as effectively as brushing and flossing.

Is chewing gum good for my dental hygiene?

Chewing sugar-free gum can be beneficial after meals as it helps stimulate saliva production, which neutralizes acid and helps clean the mouth, but it should not replace regular brushing and flossing.

What foods should I avoid to keep my teeth healthy?

Limit sugary and acidic foods and beverages, as they can erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities; instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products that promote oral health.
