Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for overall health. Here are key practices to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition:
1. Daily Brushing & Flossing
- Brush teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque and prevent cavities.
- Floss once daily to clean between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
- Use a soft-bristled brush and angle it at 45 degrees for effective cleaning.
2. Healthy Diet Choices
- Limit sugary snacks and drinks to reduce bacterial growth.
- Chew crunchy foods like apples or carrots to naturally clean teeth.
- Stay hydrated to maintain saliva production, which neutralizes acids.
3. Regular Professional Checkups
Visit your dentist every 6 months for cleanings and early detection of issues.
Professional treatments like scaling or sealants can prevent serious problems.
