Do you want to know the magic formula that will help you
keep your teeth strong and healthy for life?
The secret is not too expensive.
The secret will not cost you a lot of time. The secret will not cause you pain. Is all this sounding a little too good to be
true? The secret to keeping your teeth
healthy for life is to follow three simple steps.
The First Step To Healthy Teeth
Practice and maintain good personal dental hygiene
habits. Invest in a good toothbrush,
such as the Sonicare Diamond Clean (available from your dentist) and use it at
least twice a day, and after sugary snacks. Floss daily- don’t just think about
flossing daily, actually do it. Keeping
your teeth and gums clean and plaque free will help maintain good dental
health.
The Second Step To Healthy Teeth
See your dentist religiously at least every six months, or
more frequently if recommended. Do not
skip your professional dental cleanings and check-ups. Cleanings and check-ups are inexpensive
dental maintenance treatments which are usually covered in full by most PPO
dental insurance plans. Even without
dental insurance, two or three regular dental check-ups and professional dental
cleanings per year are typically extremely affordable.
The Third Step To Healthy Teeth
Choose Your Foods Wisely, and Kick Bad Habits. The foods you
eat can impact your dental health.
Acidic foods such as citrus can erode protective tooth enamel. Avoid excess consumption of citrus juices and
do not suck on lemons or limes. . Avoid excessive use of sodas, even diet
sodas. Sodas are acidic in addition to
containing large amounts of sugar. The
combination of acids and sugars promote tooth decay. Avoid crunching on ice or using your teeth to
open packages. Avoid foods which are
known to cause dental staining. Red
wine, black coffee, tea, and berries can stain teeth and leave them
discolored. If you can’t let go of foods
that are known to stain your teeth, consider professional teeth whitening at
your next dental appointment. Avoid
smoking or tobacco use. Not only do these
substances increase your chances of developing cancer, but they can damage your
gums as well.
