Any of these a surprise to you? π
5 little things that make a BIG difference to your oral health π¦·
1. Clean between your teeth every day TWICE a day. Before bed and before breakfast & coffee. (We are looking at you coffee addicts!) Brushing alone doesnβt reach everywhere. βοΈ
2. Donβt rinse straight after brushing! Spit, donβt rinse, so the toothpaste stays on your teeth and helps keep your enamel strong. πͺ₯
3. Replace your toothbrush/head regularly β especially when the bristles start to look worn.
4. Brush with care - a common myth we see in the practice is that the harder you brush, the better you clean your teeth. Brushing your teeth too hard can actually wear down enamel and cause gum recession over time.
5. Watch What You Sip πΈ
Your teeth are in contact with what you drink all day. Sugary or acidic drinks like soda, fruit juice, and even sparkling water can erode enamel over time.
Coffee and red wine lovers can also benefit from rinsing with water after each cup or glass, this helps prevent staining and dryness. π§π¬
And of course it goes without saying. Keep up with your dental check-ups AND hygiene appointments! Iβm sure weβve all heard this many times but prevention is much easier than treating problems once theyβve progressed. π
