A new year is a great time to make positive changes in your life. And one of the best ways to improve your health is to focus on proper oral care.
As the calendar flips to 2022, many people will make resolutions to improve their well-being, and their dental health should not be an exception. By committing to thorough oral hygiene and healthy eating habits, you can reduce the likelihood of developing oral conditions like tooth decay and gum disease.
Consistency is key when establishing new habits. Brush your teeth twice every day for two minutes – usually after meals and before bedtime – with fluoride toothpaste. Brush your tongue as well to remove any harmful bacteria in your mouth.
In addition, floss your teeth once a day to remove any food particles stuck between your teeth and gum line. These simple daily habits are imperative to your oral health. But, there are other things you can do to ensure your dental health doesn’t deteriorate.
What you eat can contribute to various oral diseases as harmful bacteria feed off sugar and starches. By choosing healthier foods, you can reduce the bacteria in your mouth.
