I know we have all heard this but it needs to be said again, brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and floss at least once a day.
Take the time to brush right even if it means using a timer.
Brush in a circular motion instead of just up and down, similar to a sweeping motion.
Do not forget to brush the tongue either, that is where a lot of germs hide that cause bad breath.
Get some dental floss that is easy for you to use.
Do not buy the rolled floss if you are not comfortable wrapping it around your fingers and flossing that way.
There are many different types of floss holders that make it easy and comforting to get the job done.
Rinse with a good mouthwash.
Studies have shown that it cuts the risk of gum disease.
I would suggest rinsing in the morning and the evening for best results.
If only we could cut out all the sugar beverages.
I am not only talking about soda, but also juice, energy drinks, and chewing gum.
