Step 1
See your dentist routinely. Brushing your teeth is just not enough. Tartar can build up on your teeth, and they will need to be cleaned to get any tartar missed by just brushing and flossing. During a routine dental visit, your dentist will clean your teeth, issue fluoride treatment, take x-rays, and talk with you about your current dental health. It is recommended that you see your dental professional at least twice a year to maintain good oral health.

Step 2
Floss your teeth prior to brushing. This can remove particles that a toothbrush cannot reach.

Step 3
Brush your teeth regularly. Brushing your teeth every day is very important. Not brushing your teeth can lead to an array of dental health problems like tooth decay, gingivitis, plaque/tarter build up, and even loss of teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day for maximum effectiveness.
