Considering how good smiling feels, it’s important to protect yours by maintaining good Dental health throughout your life. Not only does a healthy set of teeth give you a great smile, they are essential for speaking clearly, and eating properly! Considering their great importance in our daily lives, we must take good care of them!

So, if you want to have a happy smile and a healthy set of teeth, the following are the things you need to do to ensure that happens!

Brush Your Teeth – The number one thing we can do to keep our teeth and the gums that hold them in place healthy is a daily routine of brushing, ideally following every meal! Little pieces of food along with bacteria tend to get stuck in the crevices between our teeth which the brush wipes away so you can spit them out into the sink before they can do any harm! If you don’t brush regularly a substance called plaque begins to build up, a colourless, sticky film that can cause tooth decay and gum disease if left unchecked!

The following are some tips to help you get the most out of your brushing:

• Use toothpaste when you brush. Look for a brand that contains fluoride, a chemical that can protect your teeth from getting cavities caused by the tooth decay that plaque buildup causes. Fluoride strengthens the hard enamel surface that coats your teeth.
• Brush all sides of every tooth, front, and back, and in between.
• Keep the brush’s bristles angled toward the gumline so they are directed at the spaces between the gums and teeth.
• Be sure to brush gently with small, circular motions. Don’t scrub hard in a back-and-forth direction, it can actually damage your teeth enamel!
• Gently brush your tongue and your gums along with your teeth to help keep your entire mouth fresh and clean.
• Don’t forget to get a new toothbrush when the bristles are beginning to wear out, they don’t last forever!

It’s also important to clean between your teeth to remove the plaque that builds up in the spaces the brush can’t reach. You can do this by flossing. It’s a good idea to get advice from your dental health professional on how to best perform this daily task, everyone’s mouth is different, so they can help get you started right with flossing techniques that suit you.
