We recommend this daily routine for you and your family to maintain optimal dental health:

Flossing

You should begin your daily dental care with flossing. Flossing cleans between the teeth in places a toothbrush can’t reach. When you remove the plaque and debris between the teeth, you brush it off afterwards.

Brushing

Whether you choose a simple toothbrush, an electric device, or a more sophisticated electronic toothbrush which is a combination toothbrush and water flosser is a matter of personal choice.

Rinsing

The final touch to your daily self-care is to rinse your mouth. Mouth washes are available in various flavors and help to reduce the bacteria in your month, thus the amount of dental plaque that forms. Rinsing also helps to stimulate the production of saliva which is a natural cleansing agent for your mouth.
