When To Brush

To have that fabulous smile with shiny, straight, healthy white teeth and nicely-shaped pink gums, you need to do the following each day:

• Brush your teeth first thing when you get up in the morning! Use the three-step scrub method - you don’t even have to use toothpaste! That takes extra time and can get in the way of seeing how well you’ve brushed. Check to make sure you’ve removed all the ‘bugs’ that have been sitting in your mouth all night, and remember to brush again after breakfast to get any loose food out.
• Brush after lunch using the travel toothbrush we have given you. Use the three-step scrub method and remember - you do not have to use toothpaste. Make sure that all the ‘bugs’ have been brushed off.
• Floss and brush just before bed each night. Using threaders, floss between all your teeth. With fluoride toothpaste, use the three-step scrub method and brush all the ‘bugs’ off your teeth and along the gum line. Check to be sure all the ‘bugs’ have been brushed off and then rinse with fluoride mouth rinse if you desire.
