Promote Good Oral Hygiene

• Poor dental hygiene can not only ruin your smile,
  it can also lead to serious health problems.
• A frequent visit to the dentist and regular
  brushing can help prevent this from happening.
• But lets talk about that in detail.
• Here are more few tips how you can promote good
  oral hygiene.

4
Brush Your Teeth Properly

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove
  debris thats left after eating. And when
  brushing, take note of the up and down, back and
  forth motion.
• Make sure that the bristles of your brush get in
  contact with the tooth surface and also near the
  gum line.
• Gently brush the outer surfaces of your teeth and
  then move to clean the inside surfaces. Repeat
  the up and down, back and forth motion until you
  cover all your teeth.
• If youd be out and wouldnt be able to brush
  your teeth, at least rinse your mouth with water
  to help remove food substances.

5
Floss Daily

• Brushing may not be enough to remove food
  particles in your mouth. This is why flossing is
  very helpful.
• It can get to corners that your brush bristles or
  even your mouthwash wouldnt be able to reach.
• Consider flossing at least once a day.
• Bring one with you when youre going out.

Gargle With Mouthwash

• Mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing and
  flossing but it could help keep your teeth clean
  and your breath fresh especially when youre
  always on the go.

7
Clean Your Tongue

• Bacteria thriving on your tongue can lead to bad
  breath and can also be dangerous for your health.
  
• When you brush your teeth, do brush your tongue
  as well.
• You can also talk to your dentist about a
  professional tongue cleaning product.
•  

8
Limit Your Soda Intake

• Cut down on coffee, soda, and alcoholic beverages
  and youre not only helping your teeth stay
  healthy, you also get to save money.
• Drink more water instead. Or better yet, try
  milk.
• Water will help clean your teeth while drinking
  milk will help strengthen it.

9
Eat A Balanced Diet

• Your teeth need calcium for it to stay strong.
• Same goes for vitamin D as well as vitamin C.
• So make sure to include fruits and veggies to
  your daily diet.
•  

10
Finally, See Your Dentist

• Schedule a dental hygiene treatment with your
  dentist at least twice a year.
• This way, your dentist will be able to detect if
  there are any potential problems in your mouth
  and suggest an appropriate program to fight the
  symptoms.
• Dont take your oral hygiene for granted. Apart
  from helping your keep a healthy smile, good
  dental habits also contribute to your overall
  health.
