How to Take Care of Your Teeth and Gums

Brush the Right Way

How you brush your teeth can have a significant impact on your oral health. Brushing too aggressively or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can cause considerable damage to your tooth enamel and your gums.  

While compromised tooth enamel increases the risk of tooth decay and cavities, receding gums due to improper brushing can potentially lead to gum disease. You can prevent the plaque buildup by using a soft-bristled toothbrush while brushing your teeth in a circular pattern for a full two minutes at least twice a day.   

Floss Carefully

Flossing allows you to clean the area between your teeth and gums where plaque easily accumulates and infections develop. For this reason, dental experts recommend flossing every day. While you’re at it, be sure to take the floss all the way down along the gum line.  

Rinse With an Antiseptic Mouthwash

You can use an antiseptic mouthwash to eliminate traces of remaining bacteria after brushing and flossing. Besides helping you keep your breath fresh, using a mouthwash can also prevent infection.  

Schedule Regular Dental Visits

Visiting your dentist every six months for a biannual tooth cleaning appointment ensures that plaque and tartar in hard-to-reach areas are carefully removed. Additionally, regular dental visits will also allow your dentist to identify and treat oral health issues at their earliest stages.
