Begin with the basics. Choose one useful next step.

The essentials

A clearer starting point.

Brush gently

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Clean all tooth surfaces and the gumline with gentle movements.

Clean between teeth

Use floss or an appropriate interdental cleaner regularly. Ask a dental professional which approach suits the spaces between your teeth.

Keep dental visits

Regular check-ups help identify problems and tailor your care. Replace worn toothbrushes and discuss any ongoing symptoms.

Put it into practice

Build a routine around your day.

Put the items you need together and give oral care a predictable place in your morning and evening. If a technique is difficult, ask your dentist or hygienist to demonstrate it and suggest a suitable alternative.

Common questions

Understand your next step.

Should I stop fluoride to protect my microbiome?

Fluoride toothpaste protects teeth from decay. Do not abandon established dental care because of an unsupported microbiome claim. Discuss individual concerns with your dentist.

Can a supplement replace cleaning?

No product replaces brushing, cleaning between teeth and appropriate dental care. Ask what a product is intended to do before buying it.
