It is important to take good care of your mouth to avoid tooth decay, gum disease, dry mouth, and oral cancer.

You should take these simple steps to improve and maintain good oral hygiene:

  • Avoid smoking or tobacco use.
  • Limit or avoid alcohol use.
  • Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss regularly to remove plaque and other bacteria from between your teeth.
  • Visit your dentist routinely for a dental examination and professional cleaning every six months.
