How to Maintain Good Hygiene
Floss at least once a day
Your dentist is not lying when he says this is one of the most overlooked hygiene regiments in America. Regular flossing cleans the parts of your teeth a brush can't reach and stimulates healthy gum growth.Using a short piece of floss, get in between your teeth and along the gum line, using your fingers to add pressure.Take to your orthodontist about ways to floss if you have braces, such as dental threads.Be sure to clean in between your back teeth too, using the floss around all sides of the molars.Mouthwash does not physically remove plaque and food and is not a substitute for flossing.
