Having a healthy smile is important for every member of the family. From eating good foods to taking care of your teeth, there are certain things you can do to ensure you have the brightest smile around! Here’s 5 Tips for A Healthy Smile that are sure to help!
1. Start Kids Young – Start good habits with young children to set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. As soon as you can, start by rubbing baby’s gums with a soft cloth to clean. When old enough introduce a toothbrush and child-safe toothpaste.
2. Eat Healthy Foods – Eating healthy foods is not only important for your body to run well, it’s important for your teeth and gums to be healthy. Eating a well-balanced diet of whole foods will provide nutrients to your teeth and help prevent inflammation and gum disease.
3. Brush & Floss – This may seem like a given, but it’s very important to brush twice a day and floss before bed. Getting all the food, bacteria and other junk off of your teeth and from in-between them is very important to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Using a quality tooth brush and tooth paste is also important. *See my favorites below!!
4. Avoid Sugary Foods – When bacteria in the mouth break down simple sugars, they produce acids that can erode tooth enamel, opening the door to decay. Sugary drinks and sticky candy can linger on tooth surfaces and cause trouble.
5. Replace Your Tooth Brush Often – The American Dental Association recommends changing your brush at least every three months. If you’re getting over a cold or flu, they recommend changing your toothbrush to avoid spreading germs and reintroducing the virus to yourself.
Here’s a great way to replace your toothbrushes and toothpaste that I’ve found that makes life easier and hassle free! I am LOVING this new-to-me service! BOKA!
