  1. Actionable Oral Health Resolutions For A Brighter And Healthier Smile

  2. Have you set some goals about having a healthier lifestyle this year? Why not make it a goal to improve your oral health? Here are new oral health resolutions that will go a long way toward giving you a brighter and healthier smile this year.

  3. Pick Pick the right right toothbrush Do you know how to choose the right toothbrush? A good toothbrush should be able to reach the places that need cleaning and should have soft bristles. The bristles need to be flexible, the kind that bends right under your gums. Hard bristles are harsh and can wear down the structure of your tooth.

  4. Change your toothbrush regularly regularly It could be hard for you to give up a good toothbrush. But when bristles start to wear, it’s time to change your toothbrush. Worn bristles are less effective at cleaning your teeth. Dentists recommend changing your toothbrush every three to four months.

  5. Harder isn’t better isn’t better In brushing your teeth, harder isn’t better. Don’t scrub your teeth too hard, thinking that it will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Plaque is soft and loose, so there’s no need to scrub hard. Gently brush your teeth and gums as if you’re massaging them.

  6. Ditch the soda Ditch the soda Soda is harsh on teeth. Citric acid and phosphoric acid give soda its bite. Fizzy seems fun, but it eats away your tooth’s surface. Occasional soda is fine, but a can/glass or more a day will soften your tooth enamel and will make it susceptible to cavities. Drink water instead. Add some flavor such as mint leaves, lemon, or sliced citrus.

  7. Consume Calcium and other Vitamins Your teeth need plenty of calcium and other vitamins. Calcium supplements depending on your doctor’s prescription and dairy products are good. Vitamin D is necessary for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Vitamin B complex also protects your teeth and gums from bleeding and cracking.

  8. Visit your dentist every six months every six months By seeing your dentist every six months for regular checkups, you’d be able to prevent oral health problems that will cause you discomfort. Proper oral hygiene is more than just clean teeth and fresh breath; it is one of the best ways to help maintain good overall health. Resolve to have a healthier diet, to quit smoking and to maintain an oral hygiene routine.
