Say Cheese! Tips to Keep Your Teeth Healthy

For a healthy smile, you must practice good oral hygiene every day.

A few small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in the long term.

Daily brushing & Floss regularly

Daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth. Although most people brush regularly, many don’t clean between their teeth ☹

Brushing twice and flossing once each day is vital if you want to strengthen your teeth.

Choose Your Beverages Wisely

Drinking less soda and more water, milk and fresh juices can help protect your teeth. Sugar converts into acid which can erode the enamel of your teeth, leading to cavities.

Drink plenty of Water

Water washes away food particles from the lips, gums, teeth and tongue, along with the sugary remains of other beverages.

Brush Your Tongue

Brushing your tongue first thing in the morning helps remove plaque build-up on your tongue which can lead to bad breath, along with other oral health problems.

Quit Smoking

Did you need another reason to quit smoking? Well, here’s one: Smoking can do a lot more than just stain your teeth – this unhealthy habit can also lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and even oral cancer. Although it can be hard to quit, people who ask for help are more likely to succeed.

See Your Dentist Regularly

You should see your dentist for cleanings and check-ups twice a year. Your dentist will be able to pick up on any issues that you may not have noticed which will keep your teeth bright, clean and free from plaque.
