Simple steps to keep your teeth and gums healthy every day

Taking care of your teeth doesn’t have to be complicated. With consistent daily habits and regular dental check-ups, you can prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath — and maintain a confident, healthy smile.

1. Brush Properly, Twice a Day

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Brush for 2 minutes, covering all surfaces (front, back, and chewing surfaces).
Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months, or sooner if bristles are frayed.

Tip: Use gentle, circular motions rather than harsh scrubbing to protect enamel and gums.

2. Don’t Skip Flossing

Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.

Floss once a day, ideally before bedtime.
Be gentle to avoid damaging your gums.

3. Limit Sugary & Acidic Foods

Sugary snacks and drinks feed cavity-causing bacteria.
Acidic foods can wear down enamel.
Rinse your mouth with water after consuming sugary or acidic foods.

4. Drink Plenty of Water

Water helps wash away food debris and keeps your mouth hydrated.

Saliva protects your teeth by neutralizing acids.
Drink water throughout the day, especially after meals.

5. Don’t Forget Regular Dental Check-ups

Visit Klinik Pergigian Aleph Dental every 6 months for check-ups and professional cleaning.

6. Additional Tips for Healthy Gums

Avoid tobacco products — they increase the risk of gum disease and oral cancer.
Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production after meals.

Conclusion

Healthy smiles start with consistent daily care and regular dental visits. By following these simple steps, you can keep your teeth strong, gums healthy, and breath fresh.
