Paying your local dentist a visit at least twice a
year is essential in oral and dental health. Eating and drinking different
kinds of food and beverages may already be affecting your teeth; cavities may
already be forming without you even noticing. As a responsible adult, you would
want to lessen the chances of having serious dental issues. Doing your part in
keeping up a good oral dental hygiene routine will turn your and your dentist’s
fight against cavities a success.
Proper
Brushing Technique
As much as your
dentist is your ally against cavities and tooth decay, you are also considered
a partner in battling these dental concerns. Oral hygiene at home begins with
the way you brush your teeth. The ideal way of doing so is by using a stroke using
a short circular motion, moving clockwise, which you should perform in a span
of two to three minutes.
Don’t
Neglect the Floss
Millions of Americans tend to forget about the
dental floss, which is one of the most powerful weapons against tooth decay.
Flossing gets rid of food residue that builds up in hard-to-reach areas of your
teeth and turn into plaque. Floss at least once a day, preferably at night time
before going to bed.
By maintaining good oral health at home and cleaning
your teeth the right way, your trips to the dentist will be less stressful and your
smiles will be much brighter for many years to come.
