Having – and maintaining – a stellar level of oral health is really an easy proposition. You just need to establish a few good habits, and you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable smile. But with how easy it is to attain this level of oral health excellence, why do so many people struggle with it?
Here at Bellaire Dental Excellence in Fort Worth, Texas we see a lot of people who just don’t make the habits they need to in order to have great oral health. Luckily, Dr. Kevin M. Altieri has some tips to help you establish those habits and keep your stellar oral health at the level you need it to be. Let’s look at what those tips are.
You have to floss
A lot of people don’t like flossing. For one reason or another, it’s just not something that seems important. The thing is, you do need to floss if you want great oral health. If you leave the germs and food between your teeth, you run the risk of developing gum disease. That’s not a place you want to find yourself.
Brush twice, not once
It’s easy to brush before bed or right after you wake up. But is it easy to remember to brush at both of those times? Again, some people just don’t seem to be able to keep up this schedule, but it’s imperative to your oral health. Brushing is like the pre-rinse for your teeth; you have to brush to remove most of the major debris. Flossing is the detailing.
Your oral health makes an impact on the rest of your health. If you neglect your oral health, you’ll end up with a lot of health problems you don’t want to deal with.
