A New You: The Ultimate Guide to Oral Health from A Plus Dental

As the year draws to a close, it is time to reflect on the going year and consider some New Year’s resolutions.

This coming year your resolution doesn’t need to be anything over-the-top. Instead, you might want to improve your life by enhancing your dental health.

Good dental health habits not only a beautiful smile but contribute to your overall health as well.

So you might want to make resolutions attainable by taking gradual steps to achieve them.

Here are some dental health tips from A Plus Dental to consider for the New Year:

Consume Healthier Foods

Your eating habit is very essential to your dental health. When you have successfully cut back on sugar, you need to add more orally healthy foods to your nutrition to solidify your diet’s benefit to your teeth.

You can start with dairy products, which are rich in calcium and great for the teeth.

More so, fibrous foods are also important for your oral health because they call up saliva and scrub away plaque and other food bits.

Get a New Toothbrush

Do you remember the last time you got a new toothbrush? According to ADA, it’s recommended that you replace your toothbrush every three to four months to reduce the bristles from wearing thereby making the toothbrush less effective.

But a more effective reason for changing your toothbrush is all about cleanliness. Toothbrushes are prone to bacterias just like the teeth.

This means that if you don’t take good care of it sufficiently and keep it sparkling between use, you could be hosting bacterias in your mouth every time you brush.

Toothbrushes are quite inexpensive, so make it a habit this year of changing them every couple of months.

Correct Your Bite

It’s never past the point where it is possible to fix a misaligned bite. Many people connect orthodontics with youngsters and teenagers hoping to fix their teeth.

In any case, the fact of the matter is there are a lot of adults that opt for braces and other orthodontic solutions to correct an inappropriate bite (malocclusion).

Apart from the cosmetic issues that can be related to an improper bite, there are additionally other dental health implications.

A misaligned bite can prompt temporomandibular joint issue, meddle with eating and talking, and lead to unusual tooth wear.

In case you’re worried about having a mouth loaded with metal and wire braces as an adult, there are other orthodontic arrangements.

Undetectable braces can be put on the lingual surface (inside) of the teeth, and removable clear aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect offer greater adaptability and feel while rectifying bite problems.

Improving Your Smile

There are numerous smile-improving methods that you can use while you brush and floss. In recent years, tooth whitening has gained a vast reputation.

It boosts the appearance of teeth by eliminating deep (intrinsic) or surface (extrinsic) stains.

It’s recommended making your new year’s resolutions as easy as possible. This will help you to stick to and keep them.

Take things one after the other, and if you forget for some time, don’t give up and always keep up the good work.
