Oral Hygiene Do’s Part 2
• Floss between your teeth at least once a day, after dinner and before bedtime. (Tip: Use toothpaste on your floss for extra fresh breath.)
• Rinse and gargle with the mouthwash, ideally right before bedtime.
• Eat a balanced diet, limit between-meal snacks and eliminate sugary foods.
• Clean your tongue when your brush your teeth. (Tip: Instead of using toothpaste to brush your tongue, dip your toothbrush in mouthwash.)
• Drink plenty of liquids, especially water to keep your mouth moist. (Tip: If your mouth is dry, try sucking in your cheeks as if eating something sour to increase flow from the salivary glands.)
