Delay the effects of ageing on your teeth

Brush regularly, twice a day, using a fluoride toothpaste. This prevents the build-up of plaque in the surface of your teeth.

Toothpaste should always contain fluoride and be non-abrasive.

Daily flossing improves plaque control and removes food debris from the areas in between your teeth, where your toothbrush can't reach.

Change your toothbrush when the bristles become splayed or worn. Usually three months.

Toothbrushes should have medium/soft textured bristles and a small head.

Ideally brush for two minutes.

Brush your teeth 20min after meals to allow your mouth's pH to return to normal.

Try and choose an alcohol free mouthwash.

Visit your dentist every six months.
