IMPORTANT TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR DENTAL

HYGIENE

Healthy Teeth

Everyone wants to feel more confident in their smile and breath.

By taking care of your teeth, you can keep your teeth healthy and your breath fresh.

Good thing is, you will not have to spend a fortune as tools you need are available at home.

It only takes looking into your dental hygiene habits and making adjustments where you deem necessary.

 

Let's get you started with these tips below.

Choose The Right Brush

 Does your brush feel heavy that you get easily tired using it?

Do the bristles feel too stiff your gums hurt each time you brush?

It's essential that you feel comfortable with the toothbrush you're using so you can brush properly.

Check yours today and gauge if you already feel okay with it. Also, note that changing toothbrush should be done within 3 or 4 months.

A frayed brush will no longer do its job of cleaning your teeth well.

Brush Properly Are you always in a rush when brushing your

teeth? When you're in a hurry, chances are you only end up cleaning the prominent parts of your teeth.

When you brush properly, you will not have to brush as often or as long as you usually do. You can keep your mouth clean for a longer period.

Rethink your brushing habits and allot at least 30 seconds on each of the sides of your mouth - upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right. Gently brush in different directions, circling through the surface of your teeth.

Don't forget to brush your tongue. The tongue is where bad breath-causing bacteria linger so when you brush your tongue, you also get to avoid bad breath.

Floss The Right Way

Many forgo flossing their teeth. Dental flosses however help you clean parts of your teeth that your toothbrush can no longer reach.

For you to get the most benefit out of flossing, do not just floss up and down, gently pull the floss toward your teeth and cup the surfaces.

In case flosses are not available or if your teeth are close together you struggle using flosses, you can use toothpicks instead.

Don't Forget To Rinse  Antibacterial mouthwash kills harmful

bacteria that cause plaque and cavities.

When you are out and are unable to brush your teeth, make it a point to at least rinse your mouth properly with a mouthwash especially after eating sweets.

Most important, visit your dentist once in a while so you can have your teeth checked and so you can as well seek professional advice to keeping your mouth healthy.
