Dentist Tips
Don't forget your tongue when you brush your
teeth. Your tongue holds a large amount of bacteria which causes bad
breath.
It is never normal for your gums to bleed. If
your gums bleed after brushing or flossing, you should have your dentist
check for periodontal disease. Don't chew on
hard foods such as ice or jaw breakers. You can easily crack a tooth doing
so. Be sure to brush your teeth twice a day and
floss once a day. Use a fluoride toothpaste and a fluoride mouth rinse.
Porcelain Veneers can give you an entirely new look. They can give you a
bright smile while closing up gaps between your teeth and making your
teeth seem straighter. Replace your toothbrush
at least every 3 months. Be careful when using
over the counter tooth whitening products. They can be harsh and may
damage your teeth over time. If you can't brush
your teeth immediately after a meal, rinse your mouth out with water.
Eating an apple or chewing some sugar free gum after a meal can also
effectively clean your teeth. |
