Since dental offices\nare currently closed throughout the country, regular checkups and cleanings are\nnot possible. As a result, it is up to you to maintain your oral health until they\nreopen. But how can you improve on what you\u2019re already doing? If you practice\nregular brushing, flossing, and rinsing, that is great; however, your smile may\nbe lacking its full potential. If you want it to look and feel its best,\nconsider the following tips to help your smile truly shine while at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Just Brush\u2026Do It the Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, there is a right and wrong way to brush\nyour teeth. If you\u2019re not following the recommended steps, you may find that\nyour teeth aren\u2019t as healthy as they could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure you\u2019re brushing for a full two\nminutes. This is the amount of time it takes to effectively remove bad bacteria\nand other debris. <\/li><li>Use fluoride toothpaste to combat tooth decay\nand strengthen enamel. It is found in most toothpaste products but always read\nthe label to be sure.<\/li><li>Your teeth deserve a gentle touch, so don\u2019t brush\ntoo hard. Gentle back and forth strokes are all they need. If your bristles are\nbecoming frayed, you\u2019re either brushing too hard or it\u2019s time to replace your\ntoothbrush.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t forget about brushing the backsides of\nyour teeth as well as your gum line. Food particles can become trapped in these\nsmall crevices, which is why they deserve a proper brushing, too.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go to Bed with a Fresh Smile by Flossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be prone to flossing your teeth in the morning,\nwhich is fine, but if you want a longer-lasting clean, try waiting until\nbedtime. Why? Throughout the day, you eat and consume all types of items that\ncan leave bacteria and debris behind. If you\u2019ve already flossed your teeth that\nmorning, the remnants will stay on your teeth all day and night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By choosing to floss your teeth before bed, you will spend\nthe next several hours with a cleaner, healthier smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incorporate More Water into Your Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is vital to living a healthy life. Not only is it beneficial\nand necessary for your body, but it can do wonders for your smile, too. Apart\nfrom its ability to flush out toxins and keep you energized and hydrated, but it\nis also capable of increasing your salivary gland production. This is important\nbecause you need these to flush out your mouth when eating, to remove any\nharmful food particles and debris from sticking to the chewing surfaces of your\nteeth and potentially causing tooth decay, cavities, or gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look for the Seal of Approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When buying toothpaste, make sure you look for a product\nthat contains the American Dental Association\u2019s (ADA) Seal of Approval. This\nensures the toothpaste has been tested and that it is safe and effective at preventing\ncavities and other harmful dental diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule Ahead of Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want one more piece of advice while sitting at home\nand waiting to see your dentist, don\u2019t wait to schedule your appointment. Once\nthey announce their reopening, you and hundreds of others will be scrambling to\nget in as soon as possible. Stay ahead of the game and make your appointment sooner\nrather than later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these simple oral health tips in Sparta, you\nwill be in a much better position when it\u2019s time for your regular checkup and\ncleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><br>\nDr. Zelia Cannon has more than 30 years of experience working in the field of\ndentistry.
