Do You Care for Your Teeth?

All of us see the dream of clean white teeth, but in reality, do we care our teeth properly. Take the following quiz to know the truth. For results, look at the bottom…

* Are you brushing your teeth regularly twice a day i.e. after breakfast and dinner?

* Are you rinsing your mouth thoroughly with water every time you snack during the day?

* Are you using a soft to a medium toothbrush with a small head to brush your teeth?

* Are you changing your toothbrush in every two months?

* Are you going regularly for your 6 monthly dental checkups and professional cleaning (scaling) of your teeth?

If you have 4 to 5 "Yes" then you care for your teeth.

If you have 2 to 3 "Yes" then you need to do more care for your teeth.

If you have 0 to 1 "Yes" then you are neglecting your teeth.
