Habits to Improve Teeth Health


Don't Go to Bed Without Brushing Your Teeth
While it can be tempting to just skip the brushing routine before going to bed, especially on those nights when you're exhausted, it is something you should avoid at all costs. Brushing your teeth before bed ensures that any leftover food particles and bacteria are removed from teeth and gums.

Brush Properly
Brushing your teeth properly is key to maintaining good oral health. Make sure to brush two times a day for two minutes each time. If possible, use an electric toothbrush which will take care of all areas in less time than manual brushing.

Use Fluoride Toothpaste
Over time, brushing with fluoride toothpaste can help make teeth stronger and more resistant to the early stages of dental decay. It is important that you use a kid-friendly toothpaste for your children as well — you can ask our Wheatridge family dentist office for recommendations!

Floss Every Day
Flossing is just as important to teeth health as brushing. When you use floss, it removes plaque and food particles between your teeth that the toothbrush cannot reach. Not only does this help improve oral health but it also helps with bad breath!
