1. Brush two minutes, twice daily, gently
Soft brush, fluoride toothpaste, 45-degree angle. Do not rinse with water straight after; let the fluoride sit.
2. Clean between your teeth once a day
Floss, picks or a water flosser. Whatever you will do consistently.
3. Drink water as your default
It rinses away food and acid and, where fluoridated, actively strengthens enamel. Make sugary and acidic drinks the occasional exception.
4. Do not graze
Every snack restarts the acid attack. Stick to meals and let your mouth recover in between.
5. See your dentist before it hurts
Twice-yearly checkups catch trouble early and keep treatment small. We will confirm what health fund rebates and HICAPS cover so prevention stays affordable.
