How to maintain good oral hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We understand the health of your teeth and gums are important to you, so we wanted to give you a few tips for maintaining good oral hygiene while you wait for your next teeth cleaning or hygiene appointment. Our top tips include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice per day with a fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>
Brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth to remove plaque and eliminate odor.<\/li>
Floss between your teeth once a day to stimulate the gums, reduce plaque and lower inflammation.<\/li>
Drink more water. Drinking water after meals helps wash out some of the negative effects of sticky or acidic foods and beverages.<\/li>
Eat more fruits and vegetables to help clean plaque from your teeth and freshen your breath.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to take care of your mouth when you are sick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you happen to get sick, here are a few ways you can keep your mouth healthy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintain your oral hygiene routine.<\/li>
Rinse your mouth with diluted mouthwash or water with a teaspoon of baking soda after vomiting instead of brushing right away to reduce your teeth\u2019s exposure to acid.<\/li>
Stay hydrated to prevent dry mouth and help boost your immune system.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
