1. See a dentist at least once a year. While many dentists do recommend a twice yearly visit. This is not always possible. Yet by seeing your dentist at least once a year you can improve your odds for great dental health considerably. Dentists are equipped to take x-rays that will detect any possible problems before they become serious. In addition today’s dentist have a wide arsenal of tools to both fix and prevent dental problems. Sealants can be placed on adult teeth to prevent further exposure to decay. In addition many dentists employ dental hygienist on their staff who can treat teeth with fluoride and work with patients in establishing a good oral hygiene routine.

2. Brush your teeth at least twice daily. By selecting the correct toothbrush for your mouth and using it with fluoride toothpaste (especially important if fluoridation is not added to the water supply) you have the best weapons available in promoting great dental health. Brushing should occur for a minimum of 3-4 minutes at least twice daily. Children should be introduced to brushing early and learn to make it a part of their routine. It is never too early to start preventive measure in helping promote great dental health.

3. Floss at least once a day. This is often the most overlooked component in promoting great dental health. By diligently flossing bacteria can be removed from between the teeth before plaque can develop and cause dental decay. If there is concern or confusion on how to floss consulting a dental hygienist can be helpful.

Great post, thanks for the info!

Thanks

I certainly do take care of my teeth by brushing them twice a day with an electric brush that has a timer so that I get the right amount of time. Otherwise though tyne dentist is so expensive that like a lot of people in this country (UK) I suspect I only go when I really have a problem. I have had very serious gum disease that is now more or less static so I should go but it is a matter of cost for me.
