Your Dentist’s Guidelines for Oral Health

Since we were kids, people have told us to brush and floss daily. But are these the only habits we need for a healthy mouth? Taking care of our teeth is very important for our overall health. Good habits help keep our teeth white and freshen our breath. They also stop more significant problems from happening later on.

Most people have brushed and flossed their teeth for many years. Still, most are surprised that they do not do it well enough to stop tooth decay and gum problems. Here’s something to think about. Did you know you should brush your teeth for at least two minutes? Many people are shocked to learn that they have done this simple task incorrectly for their whole lives.

Please follow these steps to easily remember how to take care of your mouth, teeth, and gums:

• • Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time. Most experts think fluoride toothpaste is the best choice. The key times to brush are in the morning and before bed.
  • Floss every day, usually at night before bed.
  • Limiting or avoiding snacking is a good choice for your mouth and your waist.
  • Visit your dentist every six months. You should get a professional cleaning and checkup at least twice yearly to keep your mouth healthy.
