Oral

It's important to take care of your mouth and teeth starting in childhood. If you don't, you could have problems with your teeth and gums - like cavities or even tooth loss.

Here's how to keep your mouth and teeth healthy:

Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another type of between-the-teeth cleaner
Snack smart - limit sugary snacks
Don't smoke or chew tobacco
See your dentist or oral health professional regularly
