2020 - Resolutions for a healthy mouth

NEW YEAR - NEW SMILE 

The new year is the perfect time to design resolutions for establishing healthy oral habits.
Oral health is a major component of overall health.

Here are some resolutions for healthy mouth and beautiful smile:

• See your dentist for every six months 

Regular dental visits help to prevent any dental health problems before they cause discomfort or before they require more comprehensive or expensive treatment.

• Take your infant or toddler to see a dentist

Your child's first dental visit should be as soon as child's first tooth erupts. Your dentist will show you how to lower the chances of your child getting cavities.

• Brushing twice daily for two minutes 

Tooth brush should be changed whenever the toothbrush bristles got flared or two months once. Brushing protects your teeth by removing plaque that builds up on your teeth everyday.

   

• Floss daily once

Flossing can remove plaque in between the teeth, where tooth brush can't access and avoid cavities in between the teeth.

• Eat healthy diet

Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Limit the snacks in between the meals. Healthy and balanced diet will give good oral health along with overall health and freshens the breath.

• Quit smoking and alcohol intake

Smoking increases the risk for both gum disease and oral cancer. Alcohol intake leads to dry mouth followed by gum disease and cavities.

For this new year, resolve to treat your oral health: improve your diet, quit smoking and improve your oral hygiene habits.

Wish you all have a healthy happy new year !!
