Toothbrushing Guide for Teens

Icon

Keep their smile healthy by giving them these top tips:

  • Brush your teeth last thing at night, and at least one other time in the day
  • Use a toothpaste with a small to medium sized brush head and soft to medium bristles
  • Brush for two minutes
  • Floss once a day to help remove plaque and food from your teeth
  • Use a mouthwash to freshen your breath and kill bacteria
  • Wait at least one hour after eating or drinking anything acidic before you brush
  • Chew sugar-free gum after eating to help make more saliva and cancel out the acids that form in your mouth after eating
  • Visit your dentist at least once a year or as often as they recommend
