Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Brushing at night before sleeping could be a task but you have to, in order to be a tooth brushing champion

Flossing can be confusing if you are a beginner but you should floss in between your teeth as it helps keep your gums clean.

Choose to stay away from tobacco in any form. No smoking, no staining. Tobacco also causes oral cancer

Pit and fissure sealants are a good option for your child to stay cavity free. It is good to start early as permanent teeth develop around 6 years of age.

If you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, it is very important to protect your pearly whites with a mouth guard.
- Notice symptoms
DO NOT take tooth pain or bleeding gums lightly as oral health is very closely related to overall well being of the body.
- Open up for your check-up
As dentists we recommend you to get your routine dental check up done every 6 months irrespective of any symptoms or not

Get your child accustomed to a dental set up as soon as they turn 1 in order to avoid dental anxiety and fear.
