A consistent oral-care routine is built from simple habits performed correctly. Brush twice daily with a suitable toothpaste, clean between teeth, and use mouthwash where it complements—not replaces—mechanical cleaning.
What to keep in mind
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and spend enough time reaching outer, inner and chewing surfaces. Replace the brush when bristles become worn. Mouthwash directions vary, so follow the approved label. Regular dental checks remain important because professional assessment can identify concerns that are not obvious at home.
