A good oral routine does not need to be extreme. It needs to be consistent, gentle, and realistic enough that you can repeat it every day.
Morning routine
- Brush gently for the amount of time recommended by your dentist or product instructions.
- Clean the tongue lightly if it helps your mouth feel fresher.
- Drink water before or after coffee to reduce dry-mouth feelings.
- Pack floss or interdental picks if you often eat away from home.
Evening routine
- Clean between teeth before brushing or at the time your dentist recommends.
- Brush all tooth surfaces with gentle pressure.
- Avoid snacking after brushing when practical.
- Make a note of pain, sensitivity, bleeding, or swelling to discuss with a dentist.
