Brush

You should regularly brush your teeth at least 2-3 times a day. It is very important that you not only brush your teeth but your tongue and gums as well to fully remove all bacteria. Brushing your teeth helps prevent cavities, stimulates the gums helping them to stay healthy, and prevents gum disease.

Floss
