Simple daily habits that help protect your teeth and gums between routine dental check-ups.
Dr. Maya Bennett
Preventive Dentist
A healthy smile is supported by small things you do every day. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth, and choosing water regularly can help reduce plaque and protect enamel. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle movements along the gumline.
Replace your brush when bristles become worn. Floss or use an interdental cleaner to reach spaces a toothbrush cannot clean effectively. Frequent sugary snacks and acidic drinks can increase the risk of decay and enamel erosion, so try to keep them to mealtimes.
Keep your toothbrush visible, set a regular brushing time, and carry floss or interdental brushes when away from home. Avoid brushing immediately after acidic food or drinks; rinse
with water and wait before brushing. Routine dental visits allow your dentist to spot changes early and give advice based on your individual risk. If you notice bleeding gums, sensitivity, pain, or a change in your mouth, arrange an assessment rather than waiting.
