7 Steps to Healthy Gums and Better Oral Health Seven Steps to Healthy Gums and Clean Breath
- Plan. Sit down with your dental professional and together develop a plan for regularly scheduled check-ups and at-home maintenance.
- Brush. Brush your teeth with CloSYSII® Toothpaste two times a day or as recommended. Also brush your tongue, gums and roof of your mouth. For better results use a sonic or electric toothbrush (ask your dental professional for a recommendation).
- Floss. Floss your teeth at least once a day using CloSYSII Toothpaste. Using your toothbrush, apply the paste between your teeth. Then floss gently.
- Scrape. Because volatile sulfur compounds are most commonly found on the tongue, use of a toothbrush or tongue scraper will help remove these irritants. Gently scrape your tongue, reaching as far back as is comfortable to remove the accumulated white coating. Also use CloSYSII Toothpaste when brushing your tongue.
- Rinse. Rinse your mouth with water.
- Rinse. Rinse vigorously. Swish CloSYSII® oral rinse between teeth for at least 30 seconds. For better results use an irrigator to flush away the debris loosened during tongue scraping and tooth brushing, then swish the rinse back and forth between your teeth.
- Gargle. Using about a tablespoon or 1/2 ounce of fresh CloSYSII oral rinse, gargle for 60 seconds. Do not rinse with water. Allow the chlorine dioxide to continue its cleansing action.
