Tips for Good Oral Hygiene

I had come across people telling me not to brush my teeth too often as it 'thin' and hurt the gums. Interesting belief, but I still put my trust in science. We all taught from young in school to brush our teeth twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the night. So are we going to teach that to our children or teach the old folks belief to the children? Guess the choice is up to individual. Nevertheless here are good oral hygiene tips:

• brush your teeth right at least twice daily to minimise plaque accumulation around gums
• floss every day
• visit the dentist twice a year
• quit smoking
