Build a consistent routine

Brush twice daily for about two minutes using fluoride toothpaste. Clean between teeth daily with floss or an appropriate interdental brush. Spit out excess toothpaste after brushing rather than rinsing it away immediately.

Where professional cleaning fits

A scale and polish removes deposits from teeth. The care you need depends on an assessment; ask whether your gum health needs additional treatment or a change to your home routine.

Make advice practical

Bring your questions about difficult-to-clean areas and ask the team to demonstrate a technique you can use at home.

Questions to bring

  • Which areas am I missing when I clean?
  • Which interdental tool fits my teeth?
  • What care and review interval do you recommend?
