Whether it helps you eat, express emotions or speak, your teeth play an important role in your daily life, so it's important that you take care of them. With proper care and maintenance, you can keep your teeth healthy and happy for a lifetime.
Skyline Smiles dental health experts are here to share some tips to help you improve the effectiveness of your dental hygiene routine.
1. Use fluoridated toothpaste: While there are many different toothpastes that can help keep your teeth clean, not all toothpastes are created equal. When looking for the right toothpaste, it's important to look for key ingredients that help keep teeth healthy and strong, such as: B. Fluoride.
Fluoride helps rebuild weakened enamel on the surface of your teeth and may even help reverse the early stages of tooth decay. Not only does this make your teeth stronger overall, but it also helps prevent tooth decay and other dental health problems.
2. Floss regularly: Although brushing your teeth regularly can help keep them clean, brushing only cleans part of the surface of your teeth. Luckily, dental floss can help you get into those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies.
In addition to removing plaque from between your teeth, flossing also helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and even bad breath. Whether you prefer traditional dental floss, oral irrigator, or interdental brushing, remember to floss before brushing your teeth.
3. Use an antiseptic mouthwash - In addition to freshening your breath, using an antiseptic mouthwash as part of your dental routine can also help maintain your oral hygiene. Using an antiseptic mouthwash can help loosen plaque and food debris that may have been missed when brushing and flossing. It also helps prevent damage; bacteria that cause the infection.
When using mouthwash, be sure to follow the steps below to reap the full benefits:
Use about 2 teaspoons of mouthwash.
Swish the mouthwash around in your mouth for about a minute.
Use an antiseptic mouthwash every time you brush your teeth.
Rinse your mouth with mouthwash after every meal.
4. Brush your tongue – When you brush and floss your teeth, it's also important to remember to brush your tongue. Just like your teeth and gums, the surface of your tongue can harbor harmful bacteria without proper care.
To properly clean your teeth, be sure to follow the steps below:
Brush your tongue back and forth. • Use a tongue scraper. • Rinse your tongue after cleaning it.
5. Visit Your Dentist Twice a Year - Although many people come to the dentist's office with a toothache or a dental emergency, there are many benefits to seeing your dentist regularly.
In addition to a thorough cleaning, your dentist will likely take X-rays of your teeth and treat you with fluoride. This routine maintenance can help your dentist prevent and even detect early signs of the following oral health problems: tooth decay • gum disease • bad breath • jaw problems • certain types of cancer
Be sure to have a routine cleaning and dental check-up every six months. If you are unsure about your most recent visit, be sure to check with your dentist to make sure you are on the right track for your specific dental health needs.
