<\/a>Today we thought we would remind our patients to practice good oral hygiene to keep those pearly whites shining and happy! This includes brushing and flossing on a regular basis, brushing after consuming foods that can stain your teeth and visiting our office every six months or as recommended.<\/p>\n

The American Dental Association, or ADA, also recommends the following for ideal oral hygiene:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Brush your teeth twice a day with an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Tooth decay-causing bacteria still linger between teeth where your toothbrush bristles can\u2019t reach. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visit our office on a regular basis for professional cleanings and oral exams.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a great reason to smile is this: smiling can actually help you live longer according to recent studies! Have you visited our office lately for a cleaning or checkup? If not, give us a call to set up an appointment! The beginning of the year is a great time for a visit! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
