Dental Tips
- Proper brushing includes moving the brush in delicate, short strokes. Position the brush such that it shapes a 45-degree point against the gum and move the brush in a roundabout movement away from the gum.
- Ensure that your toothpaste is safe and effective by choosing one with the ADA seal and fluoride – this will fight plaque and prevent tooth decay.
- Mouthwash freshens breath, reduces plaque and gingivitis, whitens teeth, and soothes dry mouth. And with its antimicrobial benefits and additional fluoride, you'll wonder why you didn't add it to your routine sooner!
- To keep your toothbrush clean, simply rinse it off and let it air dry after brushing. Avoid covering or sharing it, as this breads and spreads bacteria.
- Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months and after recovering from an illness. Most manual and electric toothbrushes have a color indicator reminder on the bristles. If you're a parent or caregiver, keep in mind that the more often you change your child's toothbrush, the more excited they'll be to do it.
- A tongue scraper rinses away excessive oral bacteria. Add this practice to your daily oral care routine to eliminate bacteria and freshen your breath. Select a toothbrush with a scraper on the back for added convenience.
- Like brushing, there's a wrong and right way to floss. Remember to:
* Give yourself about 18 inches of floss
* Wind most of it around middle fingers, leaving 1to 2 inches on both sides
* Make sure the floss is tight between your thumbs and index finger, then gently slide it between
your teeth, using clean sections as you go from tooth to tooth
* Gently floss beneath the gumline
