Keep your teeth and gums in top shape
(Reading time: 3 min)
Caring for your teeth doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, a consistent, simple daily routine can make a huge difference in the long term. Here’s what your ideal smile routine should include:
Brush twice a day (at least 2 minutes): Use a fluoride toothpaste and gentle circular motions. Don’t forget the gumline!
-Electric toothbrushes are generally considered more effective than manual toothbrushes.
Floss once daily: This removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth – where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Use mouthwash: Rinse with an alcohol-free formula to reduce bacteria and freshen your breath.
Scrape your tongue: A tongue scraper helps remove buildup and improves breath. Many people skip this, but it’s essential.
Monitor your pH: If you’re prone to cavities, adding a pH monitoring tool like the Cavity pHighter can help you track acidity levels and make proactive changes.
Consistency is key. Just a few minutes morning and night can help prevent gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay.
