Basic Dental Care Tips & Advice
While you may believe that you are taking the necessary steps for proper dental care, you can always improve.
You should brush your teeth after every meal, for at least two minutes. This is recommended by the ADA and is a very efficient way to avoid dental issues. Brushing your teeth should be a part of your daily routine that you don’t even have to think about. You should also floss at these times.
Have your teeth cleaned and checked by a dentist twice a year. Getting your teeth cleaned is important. During this time you get your teeth cleaned well, checked to see if you have gingivitis or cavities, and anything else you need the dentist to do. If you catch things early enough you should be able to pay less to get things fixed.
Don’t be stingy with how much floss you use. Approximately 20 inches is a good length to floss your entire mouth. Just secure the floss around the two middle fingers of each hand.
Many young children are afraid of going to the dentist. Before your appointment, explain all of the wonderful things that dentists do. Choose a child-friendly dentist to help increase your child’s comfort.

Limit acidic foods and sugary foods. These types of foods are harmful to your teeth. If you eat these, eat them with other items and lots of water. You should brush your teeth as soon as you are done eating to minimize the potential damage.
If every time you brush your teeth there’s any trace of blood inside the mouth, go see your periodontist or dentist. If left untreated, gums that bleed regularly can cause serious problems. Gum disease can make you more likely to have tooth loss and other problems.
Fluoride is necessary if you want strong and healthy teeth. If your tap water lacks fluoride, everyone who lives in your home will be more likely to have tooth decay. Use a fluoride toothpaste instead. You should also consider a mouthwash or rinse that contains it as well.
