1 Use a good quality electric toothbrush.
2 Brush twice a day, no more. You can damage the enamel if you over brush.
3 Don't use mouthwash straight after brushing. You will wash off the active fluoride in the toothpaste.
4 Use mouthwash after lunch. Don't brush a third time.
5 If you have sensitive teeth rub a little sensitive toothpaste onto each sore tooth before you go to bed.
6 If you are using the special Corsodyl gel make sure you have someone with you the first time. Very occasionally there is an adverse reaction which may require hospitalisation.
7 Use a good toothpaste. If you have sensitive teeth use a special toothpaste.
8 There have been some problems with the very latest Sensodyne toothpaste so if it hurts your teeth through the enamel (like it did me) stop using it.
9 If you have pain in the jaw see your dentist not your doctor.
10 If you use the Codsodyl gel don't use it at the same time as toothpaste because it affects the fluoride in the toothpaste.
11 Use the little brushes to clean between the teeth each night. Use the gel 3 times a week with the brushes.
12 Change the little brushes every week and your toothbrush every 3 months or less.
