Personal Hygiene - Teeth

The teeth, ideally, should be brushed after every meal and last thing at night to remove trapped food particles and prevent decay. When brushing after meal is not possible, rinse the mouth out with water. Brush up and down, not backwards and forwards, on both sides of the teeth. move the brush high and low enough to massage the gums without damaging them. Avoid using harsh abrasives and strong antiseptics; always use your own toothbrush and do not share a brush with someone else.

A dental check-up twice a year ensures that any decay is detected at early stage, when the dentist can treat it easily and effectively.
