Here are some budget ways to keep them in top order
PLAQUE ATTACK: Flossing is key for removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline, where your toothbrush may not reach.
Make it a habit to floss at least once a day.
Many dentists recommend flossing before brushing, not after, to prevent cavities and gum disease.
