Unleash your best smile with these Oral Hygiene tips
Your teeth perform crucial tasks that you may take for granted. It’s only when you experience pain or lose a tooth that you start taking your oral hygiene routine seriously. But do you have to learn the hard way? You don’t have to wait for your oral health to spiral out of control. Instead, be proactive by following the below oral hygiene tips from Smile Studios.
Brush twice a day
Since childhood, you must have been told to brush your teeth every day to maintain good oral health. Nothing has changed, even when you are an adult. You should brush your teeth at least two times a day for two minutes each time to keep harmful bacteria at bay.
It is also important to pick the right toothbrush for the job. The bristles shouldn’t be too hard as they may wear down your teeth. Additionally, the toothbrush head shouldn’t be too big as it would make it difficult to brush the teeth at the back of your mouth. Finally, remember to change your toothbrush every three months.
Floss every day
There is a reason why dentists swear by flossing even when patients aren’t too keen about it. Flossing eliminates plaque and tartar between the teeth and along the gum line — areas inaccessible with your typical toothbrush.
Avoid smoking
Tobacco use stains your teeth and inhibits the production of saliva. Saliva helps in maintaining a healthy mouth — when the flow is reduced, it can result in a number of oral health problems, such as cavities and infections. Smoking also encourages plaque buildup, inviting all manner of oral diseases.
