Your oral health is crucial to ensure you can eat and speak properly. A cavity can result in missed work, pain, and sleepless nights. There are several ways you can ensure you have excellent dental health. Practicing positive dental habits is the first step in maintaining good oral hygiene. Trust us, your mouth will thank you.

Daily Dental Habits

Daily dental habits are the habits you do every day to maintain your dental health. Make sure you brush your teeth twice every day and floss after brushing your teeth.You should also consider using a mouthwash formulated to kill cavity-causing bacteria. When you’re brushing your teeth, don’t forget to brush your gums and tongue too. These small habits can go a long way in preserving your oral health. 

A Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is essential for maintaining proper oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth twice a day can do little to prevent cavities if your teeth are coated in sugar, and acidic drinks wear away at tooth enamel throughout the day. Make sure you limit sugary drinks and snacks, as these can cause major issues further down the road. Avoid sticky foods, like taffy or caramel, and brush your teeth immediately after eating them. Also, don’t forget to drink plenty of water to help rinse bacteria off your teeth throughout the day. 

Unhealthy Habits

Unhealthy habits can undo all of your hard work. Drinking soda is a common culprit behind tooth decay because the acid sits on the teeth, eliminating tooth enamel and leaving room for cavities. Smoking cigarettes can also contribute to poor oral health and even chewing gum can result in sugar on your teeth throughout the day, which can cause cavities. Avoid unhealthy habits to ensure you always have outstanding oral health. 

Tooth Alignment

Tooth alignment plays a crucial role in dental health. Misalignment creates spots that are challenging to brush and floss, leaving room for plaque to become cavities. If you have overcrowding or misaligned teeth, speak with a professional about available treatment options. Clear alignment trays can often be worn during the day, aren’t noticeable, and are suitable for any age.

Address Dental Concerns

Always address dental concerns as soon as you notice them. Gum disease may start as bleeding gums, and professionals can develop a treatment plan to help you prevent it from progressing. On the other hand, ignoring gum disease can result in cavities, losing teeth, and having to get dentures. Ensure you attend check-ups twice yearly, get regular cleanings, and always discuss concerns with your local family dentist.
