A good dental hygiene routine begins with products that you are excited to use. After visiting Dr. Roopi Kattaura at Ardas Family Dental, she will give you a treat bag filled with toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and a new toothbrush to put it all to work once you’re finished. To get the most out of your oral care routine, we are here to remind you of the basics to prevent periodontal disease, tooth decay, and other dental diseases.
Brushing – For two minutes, gently brush the outer surfaces of the enamel and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Tilt the brush vertically to make several up and down strokes and work the brush in a rotating motion. If you can’t make it through a whole two minutes, try making it fun and play a song!
Flossing – Since the toothbrush won’t clean food particles between the teeth, one should clean between the teeth at least once a day.
Rinsing – Different types of mouthwash have different types of beneficial properties, but they are designed to reduce bad breath odor in the mouth. Adding a rinse to your routine is optional, but it doesn’t do any harm!
Additionally, don’t forget to clean your tongue, either with your toothbrush and a dab of toothpaste or with a tongue scraper tool. Doing so will eliminate plaque buildup that festers on the tongue, leaving it feeling cleaner and you without the worry of having bad breath.
