Oral Health Care Tip #1: When brushing, maintain a 45-degree angle between the brush and your teeth.

Oral Health Care Tip #2: Don’t forget to brush the biting surfaces of the teeth.

Oral Health Care Tip #3: Floss up-and-down between your teeth, as well as back-and-forth.

Oral Health Care Tip #4: If fibromyalgia or arthritis prevents you from brushing your teeth properly, try hacking your toothbrush: Insert the handle into a bicycle grip or a cut tennis ball.

Oral Health Care Tip #5: Use a soft-bristled brush. Tooth enamel might be the hardest substance in the human body, but rough bristles can damage your gums.

Oral Health Care Tip #6: If you have trouble manipulating floss, try using a long-handled flosser or a floss holder.

Oral Health Care Tip #7: Learn how to perform a self-exam for oral cancer – particularly if you smoke or chew tobacco. Your dentist can show you how during a regular checkup.

Oral Health Care Tip #8: Use a mouth rinse such as Listerine to help reduce plaque between your teeth and keep your breath fresh.

Oral Health Care Tip #9: Choose foods wisely. Even milk, bread and vegetables contain sugar. Not that you shouldn’t eat them – just be aware of your sugar intake, and limit your snacks. It’ll also help your waistline.

Oral Health Care Tip #10: If you really hate to floss, try an oral irrigator. It’s not the same, but it’ll help remove food from between your teeth.

Oral Health Care Tip #11: Get plenty of calcium and vitamin D – it’ll help strengthen your teeth.
