Seven Steps to Dental Health

  1. Commit to a daily oral-health routine
    • Talk with your dentist or dental hygienist to come up with an effective oral-health routine that’s easy to follow and takes your situation into account.
  2. Use fluoride
  3. Brush and floss to remove plaque
  4. If you use tobacco in any form, quit
  6. Understand your own oral-health needs
    • Everyone’s mouth is different. For example, if you start taking a new medication that can dry your mouth (as more than 300 common drugs do), you should ask your dentist or dental hygienist about how that will affect your mouth.
  7. Visit the dental office regularly
