Apart from regularly brushing your teeth, Mint Dental Care shares eight other best practices that you should include in your daily routine to keep your teeth healthy.
1. Don’t neglect your tongue
Gently brush or scrape the surface of your tongue to avoid plaque buildup. If neglected, this can lead to bad breath and other oral health concerns.
Make this a habit every time you brush your teeth.
2. Regularly floss
If you’re too lazy to brush your teeth, how much more to floss right? But if you wish to maintain good oral health, you should start treating flossing as important as brushing your teeth. Flossing has been long proven to reduce hard to remove plaque stuck in between your teeth and eliminates plaque.
3. Consider using mouthwash
To complete your dental care routine, consider using mouthwash. Not only will it ensure cleansing of hard-to-brush areas of your mouth, but it also helps cleanse your gums.
You can ask your Mint Dental Care dentist for specific mouthwash recommendations. There are brands made for sensitive teeth and are safe to use for kids.
4. Drink more water
Drinking more water does not only help your digestion but it also plays a bif role in your oral health. Water helps wash out sticky and acidic foods and beverages which triggers discoloration or when neglected, cavity buildup.
In our past blog, Mint Dental Care shared what food you should eat when undergoing Invisalign treatment, but overall it can also serve as a guide on how to practice good dental care.
5. Eat nutritious food
While hectic job schedules can leave you with grabbing ready-to-eat meals, it is also vital for you to consume healthy food such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Not only do they help strengthen your teeth, but they also provide nourishment for your overall health.
6. Lessen your consumption of sugary and acidic foods
The thing about sugar is that it converts into acid in the mouth which causes the enamel of your teeth to erode. Eventually, they lead to cavity buildup which causes more oral health damages. Being mindful of your food intake will allow you to save your teeth from unwanted tooth ache or any other dental problems.
7. See your Mint Dental Care dentist at least twice a year
While many of the items listed above are more habit oriented, it is vital for you to visit your Mint Dental Care dentist for cleanings and checkups twice a year.
