TermDefinition
1. Toothbrushes motion helps to easily dislodge plaque and remove food particles from around the gums and teeth.
2. Dental floss/tape removes food particles trapped between teeth that your toothbrush misses, helping to reduce plaque and the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease.
3. Interdental aids These tiny brushes are gentle on the gums and very effective in cleaning the contours of teeth in between the gums.
4. Toothpastes strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Many also have ingredients that fight tooth sensitivity, gingivitis (early-stage gum disease), bad breath, or hardened plaque called tartar.
5. Mouth rinses Some help reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis; others contain fluoride to help fight cavities. Some can control or mask bad breath.
