Now that 2019 has arrived, have you taken the time to set your goals for the new year? Will you be focusing on health and exercise? Perhaps you’re looking to reinvent yourself professionally? Whatever your goals may be, don’t forget to make your oral health priority. Your dentist in Medford reminds you of some simple steps you can take to make a huge impact on your oral health.
Tips for Excellent Dental Health in 2019
Eat more fruits and veggies
This can help improve your overall health, but fruits and veggies also benefit your oral health. They help wash away debris by increasing saliva flow. They also neutralize acids in your mouth that cause cavities.
Don’t forget to brush before bed
Brushing your teeth in the morning is easy, while brushing before bed may be more convenient to overlook when you’re tired or have had a long day. The reason that you shouldn’t skip this important routine is because it eliminates the food and bacteria left in your mouth after meals that would otherwise sit on your teeth.
Floss once a day
Another habit that can be easy to skip or forget is flossing. While many people feel it’s unimportant and time consuming, the truth is that flossing removes the plaque buildup in between your teeth, which causes tooth decay and cavities.
Routine visits to your dentist
Because we understand the vital connection between your oral health and your overall health, your six month cleaning and checkup have never been more important. The bacteria that causes gum disease can also contribute to other issues in the body such as heart disease and diabetes. Consistent visits to your dentist allow them to detect concerns like gum disease and tooth decay early on so you can treat them more easily and effectively.
