Oral Hygiene Essentials

- Spit out the toothpaste and avoid rinsing straight away.
- Swallow the toothpaste.
- Rinse repeatedly with a large cup of water.

Small choices throughout the day can affect teeth. Water is a good drink between meals. Frequent sugary snacks and drinks give plaque bacteria more chances to make acid. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to acid.
