Seven Ways To Keep Healthy Teeth

To maintain healthy teeth is the desire of nearly everyone.  However, to achieve this, the right step must be taken every day to prevent problems.  Here are seven things you must do to make the teeth healthy.

Don’t neglect your tongue

Plaque building up on the  tongue  lead to bad mouth odour and  other oral health problems. Gently brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth.

Use a fluoride toothpaste

Whatever toothpaste you are using make sure that it contains fluoride. This is because fluoride is a leading defense against tooth decay. It works by fighting germs that can lead to decay, as well as providing a protective barrier for your teeth and keeping them healthy.

Floss regularly

Though flossing can be difficult, especially for young children and older adults with arthritis. Rather than give up, look for tools that can help you floss your teeth. Ready-to-use dental flossers from the drugstore can make a difference.

Drink more water

Water continues to be the best beverage for your overall health — including oral health. Also, as a rule of thumb, Schwartz recommends drinking water after every meal. This can help wash out some of the negative effects of sticky and acidic foods and beverages in between brushes.

Limit sugary and acidic foods

Acidic fruits, teas, and coffee can also wear down tooth enamel. While you don’t necessarily have to avoid such foods altogether, it doesn’t hurt to be mindful.

Visit a dentist twice a year

Your daily habits are crucial to your overall oral health. Still, the most dutiful brushers and flossers need to see a dentist regularly. At minimum, you should see your dentist for cleanings and checkups twice a year. Not only can a dentist remove calculus and look for cavities, but they will also be able to spot potential issues and offer treatment solutions that will keep the teeth healthy.

Don’t close the day without brushing your teeth

It’s no secret that the general recommendation is to brush at least twice a day. Still, many of us continue to neglect to brush our teeth at night. But brushing before bed gets rid of the germs and plaque that accumulate throughout the day.
