Brief Answer: Regular brushing & flossing is enough. Detailed Answer: hi thanks for writing in. Its very important to maintain good oral hygiene by following simple measures like brushing your teeth twice a day in proper way & by regular flossing. You can also use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash once daily 10 ml half an hour after brushing. If you want to get white teeth go for bleaching.But bleaching results in sensitivity of teeth. Its better to go for oral prophylaxis for maintaining good oral hygiene. Also take citrus fruits in your diet. Visit your dentist for regular dental check-up every six months. Hope i answered your query Wishing you good health Regards Dr. Neha Sumra
