1 – Choose the right toothbrush



Soft or medium bristles are best because they do less damage to the tooth’s enamel than hard bristles. Children’s brushes are smaller to fit in kid-sized mouths. For adults, you can pick between manual and electric based on your personal preferences. If you decide on electric, rotating oscillating heads work best. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to change your toothbrush or toothbrush head at least every 2-3 months.

2 – Choose the right toothpaste


Toothpastes come in pastes, powders or gels. As for ingredients, most commercial toothpastes include fluoride to help fight cavities. Some specifically target plaque and tartar buildup, while others protect sensitive teeth. To make sure your teeth stay clean and bright, there are many whitening toothpastes on the market. Natural ingredients are also an option for health-conscious consumers.

3 – Make sure to brush correctly


There is a right way to brush your teeth. Brush at least twice daily – once in the morning and once before bed. However, brushing more than three times a day can harm your teeth’s enamel. You can also damage the enamel by brushing too hard. Make sure to brush for at least two minutes, and to get to every part of your mouth – that includes hard-to-reach places like the back of your teeth and your tongue! That will help fight bad breath.

4 – Floss every day


You can also prevent bad breath, and plaque buildup, by flossing once a day. Like toothbrushes and toothpaste, you’ll find a variety of different types in your dental care aisle. Un-waxed floss is great for those with evenly spaced teeth. But if your teeth are close together, waxed floss glides more smoothly. If you have wide spaces, try tape floss. Flavored floss can help mask bad breath.

5 – Use all the tools at your disposal


Aside from the basics, there are more advanced tools available. Choose a mouthwash based on your needs: you’ll find breath fresheners, germ killers, plaque fighters, whiteners and more on the market. Of course, don’t forget to pop some sugar-free gum in your mouth if you can’t brush your teeth.

6 – Keep your teeth white


Aside from expensive whitening products, you can ensure your smile is bright with the right habits and foods. Fruits and veggies that scrub your teeth are great choices, like carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, while strawberries and oranges polish the surface. Avoid beverages like coffee, tea and red wine to reduce the opportunity for stains. If you must drink them, try using a straw so the liquid bypasses your teeth.

7 – See your dentist


Nothing beats the professionals, so in addition to a great daily dental hygiene routine, be sure to visit your dentist at least once every six months. He or she can keep an eye out for tooth decay, gum disease or other oral problems, and can clean in all the hard-to-reach places you might be missing.

See your dentist is the best tip ever! I made sure to visit my makati dentist every six months (as you stated) and I found that visiting him is a great way to monitor my teeth and gums.
