New Year Dental Hygiene Tips


The American Dental Association offers tips on increasing oral longevity and caring for your teeth. As you begin the new year, I am going to bullet point some ways for you to care for your teeth.



Brushing

* Brush twice a day.
* Use a soft bristled brush that is approved by the ADA.
* Replace your toothbrush when it frays or every 2-4 months.
* If you have trouble brushing, using an electric toothbrush is also effective.

Flossing

* You can use either dental floss or interdental cleaners.
* Floss once a day.

Water

“Consuming optimally fluoridated water throughout life helps prevent tooth decay no matter how old you are. If you choose bottled water, check the label for fluoride content.”

Dental Visits

Make sure to visit your dentist for all scheduled appointments.

  1. Thank you for these tips. I am currently looking for a vernon hills dentist, but I'm new to the area and don't have anyone to help me with recommendations.

  2. Brushing and flossing solely will never remove yellow tartar build up on teeth. Tartar is a hardened calculus build up and can range in color from light yellow to brown. I found this type information. Thanks for sharing nice information.
