To keep your teeth healthy, here are a few essential tips:

1. Regular brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
2. Flossing: Use dental floss daily to remove plaque and food residues between teeth where the brush can’t reach.
3. Rinse with mouthwash: Use an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce oral bacteria and freshen breath.
4. Balanced diet: Limit your intake of sugars and starches, which can cause tooth decay. Eat foods rich in calcium and vitamins to strengthen your teeth.
5. Hydration: Drink plenty of water, especially after eating, to help flush out food residues and acids.
6. Regular dental check-ups: Have regular dental check-ups, at least once a year, for professional cleanings and early detection of dental problems.
7. Avoid tobacco: Don’t smoke and avoid tobacco products, which can stain your teeth and increase the risk of gum disease and oral cancer.
8. Protect your teeth: If you play contact sports, wear a mouthguard to prevent dental injuries.
9. Avoid teeth grinding: If you tend to grind your teeth, see your dentist about getting a night splint to protect your teeth from wear.

We recommend brushing at least twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening before going to bed. It’s also beneficial to brush your teeth after meals if possible, especially after consuming sweet or acidic foods or drinks.

Be sure to brush for at least two minutes each time, using an effective brushing technique to clean all tooth surfaces.

No single toothpaste is best for everyone, as dental needs can vary from person to person. However, here are a few criteria for choosing a good toothpaste:

1. Fluoride: Choose a toothpaste containing fluoride, which helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel.

2. Specific problems :

• Tooth sensitivity: If you have sensitive teeth, opt for a toothpaste specially formulated for tooth sensitivity.
• Whitening: For whiter teeth, you can use a whitening toothpaste, but be careful with abrasive ones.
• Gingivitis or gum disease: There are toothpastes specially designed to combat gum problems and reduce inflammation.

3. Ingredients: Avoid toothpastes containing harsh abrasives, sulfates or triclosans, as they can irritate gums or damage enamel.

4. Advice from your dentist: Consult your dentist for personalized recommendations based on the condition of your teeth and gums.
