• Your oral health impacts many aspects of your
  life.

4

• Having healthy teeth allows you to properly chew
  the delicious foods you crave.

5

• Practicing good dental hygiene can also prevent
  painful toothaches and gum disease.

6

• Gum disease is linked with other types of health
  problems including heart disease.

To keep your pearly whites healthy, consider
adhering to the following tips.
7
BRUSH AND FLOSS YOUR TEETH DAILY A NO BRAINER
8

• To maintain a glowing smile, strive to brush your
  teeth twice each day.

9

• You should also floss your teeth at least once
  daily.

10

• Swap out your toothbrush 3 to 4 times every year.

However, if you notice any visible signs of
damage to your toothbrush, replace it
immediately.
11
TOOTHBRUSHES FOR EVERY SITUATION
12

• If youre currently wearing metal braces, you
  might need to invest in a special toothbrush and
  additional oral hygiene tools to properly clean
  your teeth with.

13

• Do you have a small mouth or suffer from the
  joint disorder known as TMJ?

Purchasing a toothbrush designed for kids might
help you comfortably clean hard to reach teeth.
14

• Those battling arthritis can benefit from
  utilizing an electric toothbrush.

15
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
16

• Besides helping you maintain your waistline,
  following a nutritious diet can help you keep
  your teeth healthy.

17

• When shopping for groceries, resist the urge to
  fill your cart with sugar laden snacks such as

• Cookies

• Candy

• Sodas

18

• Eating too much sugar can lead to unwanted
  cavities.

19

• Instead of junk food, stock up on whole grains,
  fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and low-fat,
  dairy products.

20

• Because nuts are abrasive, eating them after a
  meal may help you remove food particles from your
  teeth.

21

• Dairy products are packed with teeth benefiting
  calcium and vitamin D.

22
PROTECT YOUR PEARLY WHITES FROM TRAUMA
23

• Are you an adventurous person?

Perhaps, you regularly enjoy participating in
contact sports such as football.
Or, you might adore skateboarding or
rollerblading.
24

• When participating in these types of recreational
  activities, you need to protect your teeth from
  possible trauma.

25

• To accomplish this task, obtain a customized
  mouth guard.

26
SEE YOUR DENTIST OFTEN
27

• Visiting your dentist often, at least every 6
  months, is one of the best ways to maintain a
  healthy smile.

28

• During a dental exam, an oral health professional
  removes plaque build-up.

29

• Diligent brushing and flossing wont get rid of
  these plaque deposits on your teeth. You might
  also need additional cleanings.

30
In addition to cleaning your teeth, your dentist
will likely check during your semi-annual,
dental appointment

• Signs of gum disease

• Oral cancer

• Unordinary wear and tear

31
If you have gum disease, your dentist may
prescribe a medicated mouthwash.
32
WEAR AND TEAR ON YOUR TEETH
33

Unusual signs of wear and tear are often a result
of teeth grinding, also referred to as bruxism.
34
If you grind your teeth, your dentist might
recommend you start wearing a customized mouth
guard while you sleep at night.
35

• If youre like many people, you might not think
  much about your oral health until you notice a
  problem.

36

• Regardless of your age, you can take steps to
  obtain a healthier smile today. To start
  improving the health of your teeth, consider
  adopting these habits.
