Dental care

By Mayo Clinic staff

Regular dental care is an important part of oral health. Having healthy teeth and gums isn't a given, though. If you think you're too tired to brush your teeth or too busy to floss, remember that your smile depends on these simple dental care habits. Brush up on daily dental care tips, and know which signs and symptoms deserve a dentist's attention.

Also consider common dental care questions. Should you use an electric toothbrush or a regular toothbrush? Does whitening toothpaste really work? Should your dental care include fluoride treatments or dental sealants? How often should you visit the dentist for professional dental cleanings? What can you do about bad breath?

Dental care counts. Take charge of your dental care today!
