ORAL OVERHAUL

Your teeth will serve you much longer if they're well looked after, here's how to take care of yours
ORAL OVERHAUL

To ensure your teeth and gums stay in good working order, they need to be properly maintained. What does that involve? How you brush plays a big part. But, if you're like most people, when you're brushing you're on autopilot. Are you doing a good job? Whether you are or not, it's worth reviewing your dental care skills.

BEA FLOSSER

Dental floss gets into the spaces between teeth that your toothbrush can't reach, so taking a few minutes to floss your teeth once a day gives your teeth extra protection from decay.

HERE'S HOW

Wash your hands, then, slide a piece of dental floss about 45cm long between your teeth and move it up and down in a 'C' shape against each tooth surface and under the gum line. Use a fresh section of floss for each gap. Or, try a water flosser.

TRY Cordless Select Water Flosser, $155, waterpik.com.au.

BRUSH WORK

Brushing your teeth is the best way to remove food and plaque that's clinging to your teeth. But, how you brush your teeth and how often matters, as does your technique, what kind of toothbrush you use and how long you brush for. Here are a few pointers.
