What is a good oral hygiene routine? 
No matter your risk of tooth decay or other factors like age, you should brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once. Avoid using a toothbrush with hard bristles and shoot for a softer brush. Use a toothpaste which contains fluoride. Floss between each tooth using a new piece of floss for each quarter of your mouth to reduce the spread of bacteria from one area of the mouth to another. In addition to brushing and flossing, you should see your dentist at least two times a year for an examination and professional dental cleaning.

Regular Dental Examinations and Cleanings 
While examinations and cleanings work to keep your teeth healthy and free from decay, they also serve as an effective preventative measure against other dental issues. Regular examinations allow your dentist to catch issues like cavities and gum disease early to nip them in the bud and prevent more complex problems later down the line. Your dentist may suggest a procedure like a filling or a root canal during one of your regular examinations to prevent a toothache or broken tooth.
