Know the Basics of Your Oral Health
March 20, 2015
March 20th is World Oral Health Day! It’s time to spend a few moments on your oral health.
Maintaining your oral health can be as easy as 1-2-3. In honor of World Oral Health Day, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to care for yourself and your smile. Take a few moments to look over the resources linked below, and remember these three guidelines to help ensure your optimal oral health.
1. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily.
Make sure you know the right way to brush. Take a minute and check out the American Dental Association’s (ADA) proper brushing technique. And we know flossing isn’t high on everyone’s list of favorite things to do, but investing such a small amount in your oral health each day can benefit you big-time in a number of different ways.
2. Choose your diet with care.
What you eat can make a big impact not only in your overall health, but also in your oral health. Do you know the top foods that can damage your teeth?
3. Visit your dentist regularly.
Work with your dentist to determine the right frequency of dental visits for you. Twice a year is common, but you may find that your needs are different. Also consider these signs you should see the dentist from the ADA.
