Bring In the New Year with a Brand New You. Keeping your oral health in top-notch condition throughout the year seems easy enough, but it can often fall by the wayside. With gum disease so prevalent in our society, it’s imperative that you maintain superior oral health care regimens every day of the year. Below, we’ll give you a few helpful tips to help you achieve your oral health goals.
Spend Three Minutes Brushing Your Teeth — Two Times a Day. Brushing your teeth is the first line of defense when it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth. Use a timer, and brush your teeth for at least three minutes two times a day. This ensures that you’re spending enough time on your oral care routine.
Floss, Floss, Floss Your Teeth! Brushing your teeth is great, but it’s not doing much if you don’t take the time to floss. Flossing your teeth once a day can make a significant difference.
Use ADA-Approved Products. Only purchase ADA-approved dental toothpaste and cleaning tools to ensure you’re using the best this industry has to offer to keep your teeth in perfect health.
Eat Healthier Snacks. Don’t have time to floss your teeth? Try eating healthier snacks. Apples, celery, and carrots can clear out food that’s caught between your teeth without causing any damage.
Step Away From the Sugar. Sugar is harmful to your teeth and cause cavities. If you want to avoid the cavities, it’s a good idea to stop eating sugar-rich foods.
No More Soda. If you’re wanting a brighter, healthier smile to bring in the New Year, stop drinking soda. Your smile will be radiating in just a few short weeks, revealing a brand new you.
