I would add: *when you brush with a manual toothbrush, use small circular motions at a 45 degree angle *brush after every meal/snack *floss at least 1 time/day and wrap the floss in a c-shape around the tooth and floss each side of the tooth. Also go under the gums to remove plaque hidden there. It will reduce the bacteria and the incidence of periodontal disease. *avoid sodas (acid & sugar), juice (excess sugar and staining) and sugary gums/mints etc. Ask your hygienist at your next cleaning which areas you had more plaque/tartar buildup so you can focus better on these areas. Good LucK! that sounds like a great regimen.
