Many people will spring clean their homes, and we think it is a great idea to spring clean your smile too. Listed below are some easy tips to refresh your daily routine.
Invest in an Electric Toothbrush
You most likely only complete 100 strokes per minute using a manual toothbrush compared with 30,000 strokes per minute using an electric toothbrush. An electric toothbrush pushes fluid around the gum line and between teeth, cleaning your teeth more effectively.
Floss Last Thing at Night
Flossing is essential if you want strong and healthy gums as it removes plaque bacteria and food debris from hard to reach areas. Your mouth is naturally drier during sleep, which can allow harmful bacteria to build up. Ideally, floss last thing at night because that way you’ll go to bed with the cleanest mouth possible.
Choose the Right Toothpaste
Choose toothpaste approved by the Australian Dental Association and which contains fluoride that will protect your teeth. If you’re not sure which brand to choose, ask for advice next time you visit us here at Diverse Dental.
Eat Healthily
Make sure you have a healthy diet that contains lots of vitamins and minerals to fight dental disease. Look for foods that are high in vitamin C and which contain plenty of calcium.
