Improving your oral health doesn’t have to include a large price tag. There are several measures you can take and with a little effort, you can begin to significantly improve your oral hygiene immediately. Follow our tips below to take control of your oral health!
- Brush and Floss Twice a Day– Brushing and flossing consistently is absolutely essential to oral hygiene. The best time to brush and floss is immediately after eating to prevent food from getting stuck in your teeth and creating problem areas.
- Avoid Sugar– Consuming any form of sugar is one of the worst things you can do to your teeth. Sugar is everywhere and difficult to avoid but start to take note of sugar content in the foods and drinks you consume and try to limit your consumption as much as possible. When you do choose to eat sugar, brush your teeth afterward to avoid cavities.
- Visit Your Dentist Every 6 Months– Frequent trips to your dentist’s office will help you stay on top of your oral health. With thorough dental cleanings, your dentist and dental assistants will keep your teeth clean as well as examine them for any issues such as fillings, dental sealants, root canals, crowns, and more.
- Rinse or Chew Gum After Eating– For times you aren’t going to brush and floss after a meal, rinse your mouth or chew gum following a meal. Doing either of these things will help break up any leftover food in your teeth and prevent buildup.
- Avoid Tobacco– Smoking damages not only your lungs but also your oral health, as it both stains your teeth and significantly increases your chances of gum disease.
