Preventive care
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
Daily oral care helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Brush teeth twice a day with fluoride-containing toothpaste and clean between teeth using an appropriate method. Limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals.
See a dental professional for persistent tooth pain, swelling, bleeding gums, ulcers that do not heal, or other concerns.
