Oral Care Tips To Improve Your Health
Oral health has increased in popularity over the last few years. People are recognizing the importance, impact, and necessity of clean teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth. Not only does oral health play a role in your overall health but it can also improve your overall sense of well-being and happiness. However, if you’re not careful about brushing correctly or taking care of your mouth and teeth you might end up with a wide range of oral problems including tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, or even cancerous cells throughout the body. Here are some Oral care tips to help you improve your health.
Brush your teeth two times a day for at least two minutes each time you brush. The outside of the teeth, known as the tooth enamel, is very hard and resistant to most decay but it is also more resistant to brushing compared to the inner portions of the teeth. This is why it’s important to brush both sides and both the top and bottom sides of each tooth properly.
If you want to get rid of plaque (bacteria) from the tooth surfaces then you need to use a soft bristle brush while applying just a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (no more than a pea-sized amount). Use a circular motion while brushing and start at the top teeth and work your way down the teeth (not back and forth).
Apply mouthwash after brushing twice a day. Mouthwash simply keeps your mouth clean. By using vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or baking soda as a mouthwash you can kill off bacteria from your mouth. If you’re looking for an alcohol-free mouthwash then look for Listerine brand or Trident brand toothpaste and mouthwashes which will kill off bacteria without causing any dryness or discoloration of your teeth.
Bulwark against tooth decay with fluoride. Fluoride has been added to many kinds of toothpaste for decades now and the effectiveness of fluoride in reducing tooth decay is without question. You can also add fluoride to your drinking water by simply using a pitcher that contains hydrofluorosilicic acid.
