Everyday oral care

Small habits, repeated consistently.

General habits support oral health between visits. Your dentist may adjust this guidance based on your mouth, dental work, health history, or risk factors.

01

Brush twice each day

Use a fluoride toothpaste unless your dentist has given different guidance, and take time to reach every surface gently.

02

Clean between teeth daily

Floss or another dentist-recommended interdental tool can reach areas a toothbrush does not clean well.

03

Keep a regular visit rhythm

Many people use a roughly six-month schedule, but the right frequency depends on individual needs and dental history.

04

Call when something changes

Pain, swelling, bleeding, injury, or a tooth that feels different deserves professional guidance rather than an online diagnosis.
