Tips

Follow these tips for healthy teeth and gum

Oral hygiene

• Clean your teeth after each meal with a tooth brush, once a day also the interdental spaces with dental floss or interdental brushes 
• Use a soft brush with a small head and change it at least every 8 weeks
• Use a tooth paste with high fluoride content (> 0.15%) but low abrasive value (RDA < 80)
• Wait 30 min before brushing teeth when you have eaten sour foods (e.g. orange juice, apple)

Eating habits

• Limit the number of snacks, as even a croissant or a cup of coffee provoke an acid attack on your teeth
• Limit sweet, sticky or sour foods

Prophylaxis

• Have your teeth checked once a year by a dentist
• Have your teeth cleaned once a year by a dental hygienist 
• Ask your dentist or dental hygienist for an individual dental care program
