Don’t take for granted that just because your smile looks healthy that it is healthy. It takes practicing great habits every day to keep your smile in tip-top-shape and great oral habits on a regular basis can ensure your smile lasts a lifetime. Follow these 7 steps to ensure your smile is beautiful every day.
1. Brush and floss regularly. No need to skip this valuable step in the morning or at night. It takes less than 5 minutes to keep your smile healthy.
2. Eat healthy fruits and vegetables. The extra water in fruits and vegetables can rinse sticky foods from your teeth to decrease the plaque that sticks on the surface of your teeth when you consume food high in carbohydrates and sugar.
3. Don’t skip your dental visits. We know how busy you are. Keeping your routine dental visits can save you time later on. Problems that result in not brushing and flossing can lead to periodontal problems, expensive crowns, root canals or other major dental procedures to get your smile back in line.
4. Drink water. This is so important for your smile and your body. By consuming water, you keep your mouth from drying out. Dry mouth increases the number of bacteria that is already in your mouth, giving them opportunities to attack your enamel.
