How can I prevent plaque build-up?
Dental plaque is unavoidable but should be dealt with regularly to avoid any lasting damage to your teeth.
Key takeaways:
– Although your dentist would like you to brush your teeth after every meal, twice a day (for 2 minutes each time) should be sufficient to keep plaque under control.
– Make sure you replace your toothbrush when it gets too worn.
– Use dental floss, tooth picks and mouthwash to remove any food stuck between your teeth.
– Avoid sugary foods and drinks
