How often should I brush and floss?

Brushing and flossing help control the plaque and bacteria that cause periodontal disease. These bacteria multiply continuously and accumulate daily. Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed at night). Electric toothbrushes are recommended as they are easy to use and can remove plaque effectively. Flossing should occur at least daily. While most people object to flossing, it is still the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gum line.
