Use a small soft-bristled brush and pea-sized toothpaste.

Seniors should see the dentist every 6 months or more frequently if needed.

Choose fluoride toothpaste based on your dental needs.

Dental care is safe during pregnancy, especially cleanings and urgent treatments.

Plaque is sticky bacteria that leads to decay and gum disease if not removed.

Tartar is hardened plaque removed by professional dental cleaning, not regular brushing.

Children should get dental exams every six months for preventive care and monitoring growth.

Signs include pain, swelling, pus, bad taste, or fever—seek prompt treatment.

Children should see a dentist by their first birthday or when first tooth erupts.
