10 Daily Habits to Better Protect Your Teeth

in protect •  last year 
  1. Proper Brushing Technique: Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time using a soft-bristled toothbrush and dental floss. Correct technique reduces plaque and cavities.

  2. Controlled Diet: Reduce intake of sugars and carbonated drinks as they can lead to tooth erosion and cavities.

  3. Regular Check-ups: Visit the dentist regularly, at least every six months. Early detection allows for better management of dental health issues.

  4. Use Fluoride Toothpaste: Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces the risk of cavities.

  5. Use Dental Floss: Use dental floss daily to clean areas between teeth that a toothbrush can't reach.

  6. Avoid Chewing Hard Objects: Biting down on extremely hard or tough objects can cause teeth to crack or become damaged.

  7. Quit Smoking: Smoking affects oral health and increases the risk of dental problems.

  8. Rinse Mouth: Rinse with mouthwash containing antibacterial properties to clear bacteria and maintain fresh breath.

  9. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water aids saliva production in the mouth, promoting oral health.

  10. Address Issues Promptly: Seek dental help promptly if you experience toothaches, bleeding, or any other abnormal symptoms to prevent problems from worsening.
