1)
Brush for a full two minutes, twice a day - Brush gently for a full two
minutes twice a day using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. There are
good toothbrushes out there, you could also use a power toothbrush with
a rotating-oscillating action as it can greatly assist in removing plaque and
food debris. So it’s something to think about if you’re currently a manual
brush user.
2)
Floss every day - The old adage that you only floss the teeth you want to
keep holds true. Dental plaque can cause cavities if it’s left
between teeth. When mixed with sugar, the bacteria that live in plaque can
start the process of tooth decay; this is why it’s bad to leave plaque in your
mouth. In addition to brushing, flossing daily can help the removal of plaque
and bacteria between the teeth that can cause bad breath.
3)
Drink more water; limit the intake of acidic drinks - Water is great for your
teeth! Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, sports drinks and fruit juices.
These are not only high in sugar but contain acids that soften tooth
material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes or erosion.
Drinking more water reduces the acid that causes tooth decay and helps
keep the mouth clean. Opt for tap water vs. bottled for the added benefit of
fluoride.
Happy Week Ahead!
