Keeping your mouth clean, fresh and free of cavities is one of the best ways to keep your oral health in check. Brushing and flossing are the basic things that you need to do every day to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Regular visits to your dentist also help maintain your oral health.
Keeping your mouth clean and your gums healthy keeps your mouth fresh, your breath fresh, and your teeth white. Call your dentist or office today to schedule an appointment for your routine cleaning. It’s important to remember that a toothbrush is not a substitute for a professional cleaning.
The foods that you eat on a daily basis can be very detrimental to your oral health. Foods such as chocolate, red wine, coffee and tea have a lot of acid and can be very difficult to brush away. You may even have an issue where your gums bleed when brushing. If this is a frequent occurrence, make sure to get a good oral rinse at your dentist office.
If you aren’t seeing the results you’re looking for from brushing and flossing, make sure to visit your dentist. They can recommend a fluoride mouthwash or toothpaste that will help keep your gums healthy. They can also give you an x-ray if your gums bleed while brushing incorrectly. If your dentist suspects that your gums are bleeding, he or she can order a special laser X-ray to determine if you have gingivitis. Gingivitis is a common problem that many people have.
