Watch Your Mouth...Because Spit Happens!
Give your teeth cleaning technique a check-up by following these tips:
- Brush a minimum of 2 minutes twice a day
- Use small, tooth-sized strokes on the surface of each tooth, rather than large, sweeping strokes
- Cleaning teeth includes cleaning all three sides--the front, back and top of the chewing surface
- Floss daily using about 18 inches of Teflon coated floss (Glide/Slide) so you have a clean section of floss to use on each tooth
- If you can't brush/floss after meals, use the Swish & Swallow to at least remove food particles and debris

But you have to take responsibility for repair and maintenance of your teeth as the years pass. Don't wait until after the train wreck to fix your mouth; it takes more time and money to correct the years of neglect. And sometimes it's just simply too far beyond repair to rehabilitate.
