And because bacteria thrive well in moist conditions, using a bristles cap for your toothbrush isn’t going to help either. Those caps prevent the bristles from becoming dry. The best thing to do here is to dry out the bristles properly before using a cap. #preventiveDentistry #dentalHealth #oralHealth #healthyTeeth

Brushing for at least TWO MINUTES per session is optimal for preventing the most common oral diseases, and removes considerably more plaque than brushing for only 30 or 45 seconds. #preventiveDentistry #healthyTeeth #generalDentistry #cleanTeeth

If you use tobacco, stop. If you don't use tobacco, don't start. Using tobacco exposes the cells in your mouth to dangerous cancer-causing chemicals. Of around 250 known harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 69 can cause cancer. #oralCancer #preventiveDentistry #dentist #oralHealth

The more frequently you consume sugar, the greater the time during which the tooth is exposed to it, meaning more risks of a tooth cavity. So don't only take less sugar, also reduce the frequency with which you take it. #dentalHealth #oralHealth #preventiveDentistry

Covering your toothbrush can actually increase moisture around the bristles & breed bacteria which you then introduce into your mouth. Instead, rinse after use, place uprightly in a clean container & allow to air dry, then rinse again before use. #preventiveDentistry #oralHealth #dentalHealth

Why do I have HOLES on my teeth? Holes in the teeth are known as CARIES. Caries are usually caused by acids released by bacteria, when they feed on sugar you consume. #dentalHealth #oralHealth #preventiveDentistry
