Practicing good oral hygiene on a daily basis is one of the best ways you can protect your oral health.
- Brush your teeth at least twice per day
- Always use a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss your teeth on a daily basis
- Use mouthwash as a way to remove stubborn food particles after you brush and floss
- Follow a healthy diet and limit overly sugary foods and drinks
- Replace your toothbrush every three months
- Schedule regular dental cleanings with your dentist
- Avoid smoking and other tobacco use
If you feel you already have some kind of oral problem, do not hesitate to get in touch with your dentist so they can assess the problem. You don’t want to let these problems linger because they will only become worse and further affect your overall health and well-being.
