The tips below will guide you as you build your daily oral care routine.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Brush twice a day for two minutes<\/h2>\n<p>Brush for at least two minutes in the morning and before bed with fluoride toothpaste. Hold the brush at about a 45-degree angle to the gumline and use small circular movements; don&#8217;t miss the inner, outer and chewing surfaces.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Choose the right toothbrush<\/h2>\n<p>Choose a brush with soft or medium bristles. Hard brushes and pressing too hard can damage the gums. Replace your brush about <strong>every 3 months<\/strong> or when the bristles splay.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Don&#8217;t forget between your teeth<\/h2>\n<p>A toothbrush cannot fully reach between the teeth. Using floss or an interdental brush once a day helps prevent decay between the teeth and gum inflammation.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Clean your tongue<\/h2>\n<p>Bacteria on the tongue are a major cause of bad breath. Gently clean your tongue after brushing.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Watch your diet<\/h2>\n<p>Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and avoid frequent snacking throughout the day. Drink plenty of water; it cleans the mouth and prevents dryness.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Use mouthwash as a complement<\/h2>\n<p>Mouthwash does not replace brushing and flossing; it can be used as a complement on your dentist&#8217;s advice.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Attend regular check-ups<\/h2>\n<p>Seeing your dentist at least twice a year, with professional cleaning when needed, helps catch problems early.<\/p>\n<p>If you are having orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners, remember to ask your dentist for personalised oral care advice.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article is for information only; please consult your dentist for diagnosis and treatment.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:28px;padding:22px 24px;background:#e8f6fc;border-radius:16px\"><strong style=\"color:#0b3954\">Ada Oral &amp; Dental Health Clinic<\/strong><br \/>Bak\u0131rk\u00f6y: <a href=\"tel:+902122030232\">+90 212 203 02 32<\/a> \u00b7 Beylikd\u00fcz\u00fc: <a href=\"tel:+902126422505\">+90 212 642 25 05<\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/en\/book-an-appointment\/\">Book an appointment online \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the right brushing technique to flossing, from diet to regular check-ups, build a daily oral care routine for healthy teeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1549"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1550,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions\/1550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adadentalclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
