For public

Prevention is the key to good oral health, and you can best take care of your teeth and mouth by:

• leading a healthy lifestyle- having a low-sugar diet, not smoking and having no/little alcohol,
• having good daily oral hygiene- brushing your teeth well twice a day with fluoride toothpaste,
• making best use of health services- having regular checks-ups at a dental practice.
