A Cheesy Way to Fight Cavities

Eating hard cheese after meals or as a snack can help prevent tooth decay. Cheese protects your teeth from bacteria and has calcium that helps to rebuild your teeth!

 

Less Toothpaste, Peas!

Try not to put too much toothpaste on your toothbrush. Instead, use an amount smaller than the size of a pea.

 

Brushin' to the Beats

You need to brush your teeth for a minimum of 2 minutes 2 times a day to do a good job. That's about the length of a song on the radio. Try it out...but avoid the classical station!

 

Fluoride is a Hero

The most important ingredient in toothpaste is fluoride. Good thing most popular toothpastes have it!

 

This Old Brush

When your toothbrush bristles begin to spread, it's time to get a new one. An old toothbrush won't clean your teeth and gum line very well.
