Taking care of your teeth is of prime importance. Good oral hygiene will not only ward off from oral diseases, but also ensure aesthetically better-looking teeth. You should visit your dentist twice a year for a check-up and thorough cleaning. Other than that, though, you can do a lot at home to keep healthy teeth and gums.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Change Your Toothbrush every 3 months<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dentists recommend changing your toothbrush every 3 months. This is because the bristles break down over time so your toothbrush no longer remains effective for removing plaque.<\/p>\n

    The other reason is that it creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow due to the moisture, hence change your toothbrush before it becomes a source of bacteria rather than a tool for tooth cleaning.<\/p>\n

    You also need to look after your toothbrush. Rinse it thoroughly after each use, and store it vertically ensuring the thistles can air-dry.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Learn and Practice Proper Brushing Technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Brushing your teeth twice a day is not enough. It is more important \u2018how\u2019 you brush your teeth. Yes, learn the proper technique of proper brushing, only then will brushing twice a day count.<\/p>\n

      First, cover all the areas, crevices, and cracks in your teeth to ensure a proper cleaning (Don\u2019t neglect your back teeth). Second, clean the gums, and the tongue as well. Third, proper cleaning doesn\u2019t mean brushing quickly and with force. The correct way is to brush gently; brushing too hard is bad for your gums and teeth \u2013 it can lead to problems like enamel wear and receding gums.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Eat Foods that are good for your Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Ensuring healthy teeth is a combination of things. And, eating foods that will help maintain healthy teeth is certainly one part of it. Here are some foods you ought to be eating regularly.<\/p>\n

        Apples<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Eating an apple triggers a combination of chewing and saliva, which helps in scrubbing away stains on your teeth.<\/p>\n

        Cheese<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Cheese contains calcium which is necessary for strengthening your bones and teeth. Cheese also helps to balance the pH level in your mouth, more cleansing saliva, and ward off oral cavities.<\/p>\n

        Leafy Greens and Vegetables<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Leafy greens and vegetables are full of essential vitamins and minerals which are beneficial for keeping tooth enamel strong. Broccoli can even help in whitening your teeth!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Drink Plenty of Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Water is not just good for your overall health, but it also helps in removing food particles from your teeth. Moreover, water helps in maintaining high levels of saliva which fights against tooth decay.<\/p>\n

          So, make sure you\u2019re drinking enough water throughout the day.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Ensure Good Oral Hygiene<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Brushing your teeth is just one part of ensuring good oral hygiene. There are other things you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy.<\/p>\n

            Rinse with an Antiseptic Mouthwash<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            An antiseptic mouthwash kills or inactivates various types of microbes. It will clean your entire mouth \u2013 including your teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth walls.<\/p>\n

            Floss your Teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            Brushing cannot clean all the gaps in between your teeth which can lead to a buildup of debris and plaque. This is where flossing can overcome this problem. You can floss before hitting the bed to make sure your mouth is clean while sleeping.<\/p>\n

            Chew Sugarless Gum with Xylitol in it<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            Xylitol is a sweetener that can reduce the amount of cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth. Chewing sugarless gum will also help in removing food particles from the teeth, and stimulate saliva production.<\/p>\n
