In a fast-paced living environment, sometimes it is hard to maintain a successful dental routine. Getting a thorough clean can be difficult for on-the-go types of people.This blog will provide 7 easy ways to quickly improve your dental routine.
- Rinse with water before brushing: Rinsing thoroughly with water before brushing your teeth can loosen plaque and food particles, which leads to a better clean.
- Floss: When flossing between the teeth, gently rub the floss up and down against the teeth, to remove plaque and food particles hiding in between.
- Clean your tongue: Your tongue holds bacteria and plaque and requires cleaning, just like your teeth. Cleaning your tongue will also reduce bad breath. Consider getting a tongue scrapper for quicker, more efficient cleaning.
- Start by gently brushing the back: By focusing on hard-to-reach spots in the back of your mouth first, it will get you in the habit of deep-clean brushing. By reaching the back of your mouth first, you spend more time on hard-to-get areas.
- Use a mouthwash: Using an antiseptic mouthwash will kill bacteria that causes gum disease. Following the mouthwash you should not rinse, eat or drink for 30 minutes so you don’t erase the benefits you expect from the rinse.
- Wash your toothbrush holder: Your toothbrush container is also holding all the germs that linger behind after brushing. Clean it regularly to prevent bacteria from spreading.
- Switch out your toothbrush regularly: Brushes can wear down over time, and become less effective and harmful to gums, so it is best to rotate out brushes every 3 months. This keeps bacteria from spreading and it provides a better clean for your teeth.
After implementing these suggestions, your dental routine will start to become easier as you go. Getting into the habit of having set dental routine will benefit your teeth and overall oral health.
