Major dental disease – tooth decay and gum disease are by and large preventable. The key is in our own hands. Brushing teeth twice a day thoroughly, last thing at night and one other time every day with a fluoride toothpaste can clean up to 70% to tooth surfaces and apply the fluoride to strengthen teeth and protect gums. Spit out after brushing but don’t rinse all the paste away – let the ingredients in the toothpaste work for longer.
