Daily brushing and flossing of your natural teeth is essential to keeping them in good oral health. Plaque can build up quickly on the teeth of older people, especially if oral hygiene is neglected, and lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
To maintain good oral health, it’s important for all individuals, regardless of age, to:
Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Floss at least once a day.
Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly for cleaning and an oral examination.
