Importance of Oral Hygiene

The practice of good oral hygiene habits is important to keeping your pearly whites safe from dental problems. The goal is to keep teeth healthy by preventing the development of dental issues.

This is done by removing plaque left by food residue. Plaque contains millions of harmful bacteria which produce toxins and pose great risks to your overall wellbeing.

A healthy lifestyle and diet are also included in good oral habits. By eating mouth-friendly foods, you oral health is nourished.

Good Oral Hygiene Habits

The following are simple oral hygiene tips from your Ria Family Dental dentist:

Brush, brush, brush!

Brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day. Brush for at least 2 minutes using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Include your tongue, gums, and other soft tissues in the mouth.

Floss.

Brushing is not enough. Floss your teeth to remove food debris stuck in between teeth. Floss at least once a day, preferably before bedtime.

Change your toothbrush regularly.

Change your toothbrush once every 3 to 4 months or before the bristles are splayed and worn out. We also recommend changing your toothbrush after a cold.

Watch your diet.

Your food choices greatly affect your oral health. Search the web for mouth-friendly foods and be sure to include them the next time you hit the grocery store.

Quit smoking.

Smoking has been proven to have negative effects on the body including to your teeth.

Schedule regular dental check-ups.

Schedule regular dental check ups with your Ria Family Dental dentist. We recommend two dental check ups a year, or once every six months. During check ups, your dentist will perform a thorough check on all aspects of your oral health.
