Dental Hygiene Practices for a Happy, Healthy Smile

Brushing

This may sound repetitive, but brushing is one of the simplest and easiest ways to keep your teeth clean and flash a great smile. Imagine flashing a smile with food stuck to your teeth or gums. 

Getting into the habit of brushing twice a day and also brushing after eating something sticky and chewy is the best way to keep your smile healthy and looking good. Use a soft-bristled brush that is replaced regularly to get the best outcomes.

Flossing

While brushing cleans the parts of the teeth that are visible, your toothbrush bristles cannot reach the gaps between your teeth. Food can get stuck in these gaps and cause decay. 

Flossing once daily on top of brushing helps remove these stuck food particles and ensures your teeth are clean when you smile.

Gum Care

The gums need to be cared for as much as the teeth do. Imagine having swollen, inflamed, or bleeding gums when you smile. 

Regularly massage your gums when you brush your teeth and get regular professional teeth cleanings every six months to keep your gums healthy. 

Diet

Ensure that you include fibrous foods in your diet as they help naturally clean your teeth. Reduce refined foods and sticky and chewy foods that can stick to the teeth.  Especially for children who do not brush regularly, refined and sugary foods should be limited or followed by a fibrous food or brushing.

Regular Dental Visits

Schedule your dental visits every six months. Regular checkups will help identify any dental problems early on when they can be easily managed.
