New Year’s Resolutions for Your Oral Health
New Year’s Resolutions for Your Oral Health
Aside from visiting our practice for your regular checkups, here are a few resolutions you can make to improve your oral health this year.
Floss your teeth each day. Flossing helps to remove plaque and debris that brushing alone can’t reach-and it’s important for healthy teeth and gums. A great way to make sure you floss every day is to do it as part of your nightly routine.
Eat healthy snacks. Fresh fruit or vegetables are always a tasty option. Cheese is also a good pick as it’s full of calcium and it naturally helps to neutralise the acids in your mouth that can erode tooth enamel.
Quit tobacco. Smoking or using any form of tobacco products is a major cause of tooth staining and is also linked to an increased risk of gum disease, mouth cancer, and other medical conditions. Quitting these habits can greatly improve your dental health.
