Advice:

• Brush teeth systematically twice daily with either:– a manual brush with a small head and round end filaments, a compact, angled arrangement of long and short filaments and a comfortable handle OR – a powered toothbrush with an oscillating/rotating head
• Do not smoke
• Consider using toothpaste containing:
  • triclosan with copolymer
  • triclosan with zinc citrate to improve levels of plaque control
• Toothpaste with stannous fluoride may reduce gingivitis
• Clean interdentally using interdental brushes or floss
• Maintain good dietary practices in line with The Balance of Good Health

The toothpaste with “Total” in the title generally contain triclosan – always check on the packaging.
