  1. Brush teeth for 2 minutes — Use fluoride toothpaste and gentle circular strokes.
  2. Use fluoride toothpaste — Ensure toothpaste contains fluoride for enamel protection.
  3. Use a soft-bristled brush and gentle pressure — Avoid hard scrubbing; small circular motions clean best.
  4. Floss between all teeth once daily — Slide floss along each side of the tooth and below the gumline.
  5. Use a clean floss section for each tooth — Unwind fresh floss as you move to avoid spreading bacteria.
  6. Clean your tongue with a scraper or toothbrush — Scrape from back to front to remove bacteria and reduce odor.
  7. Rinse with fluoride mouthwash — Swish for about 30 seconds; avoid eating or drinking for 30 min.
  8. Limit sugary and acidic snacks — Choose water, cheese, or nuts between meals to protect enamel.
  9. Drink water after meals — Flush food debris and help neutralize acids that harm enamel.
  10. Wait 30–60 minutes to brush after acidic foods or drinks — Rinse with water first to reduce acid, then brush to avoid abrasion.
  11. Replace your toothbrush every 3 months or when frayed — Worn bristles clean less effectively and can irritate gums.
  12. Schedule or confirm a dental checkup every 6 months — Book or set a reminder; report any pain, bleeding, or sensitivity.
