TOP 10 ORAL HYGIENE TIPS

1.     Be a two timer tooth brushing champion.
     Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Brushing  at night before sleeping could be a task but you have to, in order to be a tooth brushing champion

2.     Figure out the floss
     Flossing can be confusing if you are a beginner but you should floss in between your teeth as it helps keep your gums clean.

3.     Germs down the drain
     Always rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash to kill germs that cause gum diseases and cavities.

4.     Check what you eat
     Cut down on sugar, caffeinated drinks, soda and reduce in between unhealthy snacking habits and opt for nutritional food for both oral and overall health

5.     No ifs , no butts
     Choose to stay away from tobacco in any form. No smoking, no staining. Tobacco also causes oral cancer

6.     Seal off trouble
Pit and fissure sealants are a good option for your child to stay cavity free. It is good to start early as permanent teeth develop around 6 years of age.

7.     Protect your teeth
If you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, it is very important to protect your pearly whites with a mouth guard.

8.     Notice symptoms
DO NOT take tooth pain or bleeding gums lightly as oral health is very closely related to overall well being of the body.


9.     Open up for your check-up
 As dentists we recommend you to get your routine dental check up done every 6 months irrespective of any symptoms or not
                
10.   Start early
 Get your child accustomed to a dental set up as soon as they turn 1 in order to avoid dental anxiety and fear.

A smile is the symbol that was rated with the highest positive emotional content.

    What an amazing hygienic tips! Brushing techniques should be followed properly with excellent products. Enough amounts of fluoride and calcium is needed for nutrition. Got scaling done recently from dentist Redondo Beach near our place. Services are truly satisfactory and my perfect shining white teeth are making me feel wow.
