For sweets, <em>choose products containing sugar substitutes or sweeteners<\/em> (sorbitol, xylitol, aspartame, etc.) such as those bearing the &#8220;sympadent&#8221; label, which is gentle on teeth.<\/li><li>When drinking an acidic or sweet drink (soda, juice, coffee), <em>drink a glass of water or rinse your mouth<\/em>.<\/li><li>Get a <em>soft toothbrush <\/em>. The brush should be replaced at the latest after 8 weeks of use.<\/li><li>Choose a <em>toothpaste with fluoride and low abrasion <\/em>(RDA&lt;55). Fluoride is essential for caries prophylaxis. Toothpaste that is too abrasive can wear away the dentin in exposed teeth.<\/li><li>The toothbrush does not clean the spaces between the teeth. However, these represent more than 30% of dental surfaces. <em>Floss between the teeth daily before brushing<\/em>. If the spaces are too tight for the brush, <em>use dental floss<\/em>.<\/li><li><em>Brush your tongue daily <\/em>with a toothbrush or tongue scraper. That will prevent bad breath.<\/li><li>Fluoride mouthwashes reach areas that are not cleaned by the toothbrush. <em>Gargle once a day with 10 ml for 1 minute, then spit without rinsing.<\/em><\/li><li>Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption have adverse effects on oral health.<\/li><li><em>Have your teeth checked regularly by your dentist or dental hygienist <\/em>for professional cleaning and early diagnosis in case of detrimental developments.<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For an optimal oral hygiene Congratulations!
