While healthy smile is a great asset, investing in dental health can yield many benefits. This involves getting the right oral care products, as well as being mindful of your daily habits.
According to recent research gum disease can lead to other problems in the body, including increased risk of heart disease. Fortunately, there are various ways to keep teeth strong and healthy.
How to Take Care of Your Dental Health?
Use Proper Products
To have a clean and healthy mouth you need to use the proper dental-care products. Avoid harsh chemicals, seek natural ingredients. Give your teeth the best care possible!
Consider Home Remedies Like Activated Charcoal
Activated Charcoal is more effective and cheaper than a whitener toothpaste from any well known brands. The micro-porous charcoal removes all the plaque and any stain from your teeth while killing the toxins in your mouth. Just dab your toothbrush into some powder and use any tooth brushing method that is comfortable. Do not scrub hard back and forth. Small circular motions and short back and forth motions work well. Rinse, it comes off easily with water. Don’t expect pearly white smile at the first time, but after a couple of days you will be satisfied with the result.
Brush Twice a Day and Don’t Go to Bed Without Brushing Your Teeth
Along with the basic advice, remember: you should change your toothbrushes 3 to 4 times a year. If you wear braces you may need to use special toothbrushes and other oral hygiene tools. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist. If you find it easier use an electric toothbrush.
Brush Properly
Daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth is important. It removes plaque – that sticky film of food and bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If it isn’t removed properly, it will lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Brush the outer, inside and biting surfaces of your teeth with small circular motions and short back and forth motions.
Floss Daily
Certain foods that may be getting stuck in between our teeth. Sounds familiar, huh? Flossing daily is as important as brushing. Give your teeth the best care possible! When flossing, gently scrape the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum. Start at the top and work from left to right, then move to the bottom and again work from the left to right. It may sound difficult but with little practice, you’ll become an expert in it.
Consider Mouthwash
Add a mouthwash to your oral care routine that keeps breath fresh and helps avoid forming plaque.
Chew More
Chewing works as an exercise for your teeth. Your muscles and bones become stronger and support your overall dental health.
Eat More Fresh Food and Drink More Water
Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables not only supports your general health, but also has affect on your dental well-being. Drink enough clean water that keeps every part of your body working properly.
Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods
Sugary foods, such as candy and soda, contribute to tooth decay . Slash them from your diet!
