Dental Health 

Brushing your teeth is essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular brushing removes plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that can cause tooth decay if left untreated. It also helps to keep gums healthy by preventing inflammation and infections. Dentists recommend brushing at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and using proper brushing techniques to ensure all areas of the mouth are cleaned. Developing a consistent brushing habit from an early age promotes lifelong dental health. For more information click on the links below.
