5 Great Dental Hygiene Tips for Healthy, White Teeth

by James F. Dentist

A brilliant smile with white and shiny teeth is the best highlight of one’s face. But, unfortunately, most of us miss it and the reason is our careless lifestyle and unorganized oral health and hygiene habits.

Well, it is never too late to start taking care of your oral health. Following some health care tips would help you in making your smile shinier, brighter, and healthier. Whether you need teeth whitening in El Paso or cosmetic dental treatment, dentists in El Paso offer complete oral health care solutions.

If you don’t want bad breath, yellow and stained teeth and swollen gums then follow some easy oral care tips. 

1. Brush your teeth twice daily: This easy yet effective measure does not just remove germs and bacteria from the mouth, but ensures better oral, heart, and abdomen health. Though many people skip the bedtime brush ritual as they find it interrupting, but this can prove harmful for oral health in the long run. Don't turn your mouth into a bacteria’s breeding ground all night. While brushing the teeth do not neglect tongue, gum, and roof of the mouth. Brush genteelly back and forth, up and down for a complete clean mouth.

2. Eat teeth-friendly diet: The relationship between the food you eat and teeth is well known. Foods that are sticky, sweet, or acidic can harm teeth, enamel and it causes cavities ultimately causing tooth decay. Eat food items that are fibrous, juicy, and rich in calcium. Eat food that produces more saliva in the mouth and neutralizes the acid. Limiting caffeine, aerated drinks and sugar intake will keep teeth healthy.

3. Floss regularly: One of the most underrated oral health practices is flossing. Brushing is incomplete without flossing. Proper flossing helps in removing residue that is left between the teeth and prevents tooth decay. Make a habit to floss teeth daily and you are a step closer to keep teeth healthy and hygiene in the long run.

4. Visit the dentist regularly: Well, most of us avoid visiting the dentist, but it is suggested to visit the dentist in El Paso at least twice a year for a regular check-up. It is suggested to visit the dentist regularly for a full oral check-up and teeth cleaning. Teeth cleaning twice a year will not only keep them whiter, but will also help in detecting early signs of tooth decay.

5. Use fluoride mouthwash: Strengthen your tooth with fluoride. Use fluoride mouthwash or you can even leave toothpaste after brushing the teeth at the night. The fluoride present in toothpaste will make teeth stronger.
