Let’s be honest….most of us make a New Year’s resolution that never makes it past the second week of January. New Year’s resolutions can be as easy or as hard as you make them. This year, why not set some reasonable goals and do something easy and healthy at the same time.
Setting a goal of good dental health is easy and it can benefit your overall health too.
By following these simple tips, you can easily maintain excellent oral health all year long.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brushing your teeth properly removes plaque from the surface before it hardens and becomes tartar.
- Use a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps to prevent decay.
- Change your toothbrush every 3 months.
- Floss your teeth every day. Flossing is the only way to remove plaque from in between your teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach.
- Use a mouth rinse. Mouth rinsing can provide extra help in controlling plaque.
- Eat a healthy diet. Good nutrition is an important aspect in maintaining good dental health.
- Pay a visit to your local dentist for regular check ups. Routine dental cleanings and examinations are the best way to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy.
