As we are approaching the new year, lots of us set resolutions to improve our health & well-being. We at Sumach Dental think you should include your smile in those goals. At Sumach Dental, believe that a confident smile starts with proper and correct oral hygiene. Here are some really simple yet effective dental tips to keep your teeth & gums healthy in 2025.
Commiting to burshsing twice a day
Brushing twice a day, remove plaques, and prevents cavities. Use a toothbrush that has a soft bristle head and a toothpaste that has fluoride for the best results. Also, please remember to replace your toothbrush every three months or sooner if the bristles are worn.
Flossing every day
Flossing daily helps clean the spaces between your teeth and the places that your regular toothbrush just cannot reach. This helps prevent gum disease, and bad breath. We know that sometimes using a regular floss is tricky so if that’s the case, trying some floss pics or a water floss is good too.
Rinsing with mouthwash
Antibacterial mouthwash can go along way by reducing plaque buildup, fighting bad breath and giving your mouth a clean feeling. You have to choose a mouthwash with fluoride for the added protection and also ensure it’s alcohol free because that will avoid drying out your mouth.
Having a Tooth Friendly Diet
What you are going to eat directly affects your oral health. You have to make sure to include foods that are rich and calcium so things like leafy greens dairy products, and almonds which help strengthen your teeth. You have to avoid sugary snacks that can lead to decay. In addition to this, you have to drink plenty of water all throughout the day to keep away the food particles from your teeth.
Having regular dental checkup are essential for maintaining good oral health. You have to make sure to schedule an appointment at least twice yearly for examinations and professional cleaning. This will allow us to catch any potential problems early and keep your smile very healthy.
So now in 2025 let’s make it the year prioritize our health starring that with a bright, and confident smile.
