A trio of oral health enhancement tips
You likely already brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily (if not, you should!) or even better, maybe you even brush three times a day. However, the brush you choose matters.
Since there is a wide variety of toothbrushes on the market today, it can be tough to know which is best. However, to keep your smile its best, we recommend a soft-bristled brush, whether manual or electric. These brushed allow for thorough cleaning without harshness. And don’t forget – replace your toothbrush often…at least every three months.
Next, it is wise to use in antibacterial mouthwash in your oral health routine. This acts as an additional defense by getting into the crevices of the teeth that brushing may not reach. Be sure to select one that ADA approved for efficacy and safety.
And finally, making sure your tongue is clean is key. The tongue can be a breeding ground for bacteria when it is uncleaned. Consider a tongue brush or a tongue scraper as an added step to your oral health routine. This will help remove the bacteria – and freshen breath.
