Tooth brushing basics

One of the best defences against tooth decay and gum disease is also one of the easiest.

Brushing your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled brush will help prevent plaque and tarter build up. Try to remember when buying a toothbrush that the size and shape should fit your mouth and help you clean all areas easily. Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride. This will help protect your teeth from decay.
