With the New Year just around the corner many of us are making resolutions for 2012. What if you included good oral health this year as part of your New Year’s resolution? Do you want to make the care of our teeth and gums a priority?
According to The Editors at RealAge Healthy Living “A healthy smile looks lovely — and helps keep your arteries and immune system in top shape. Flossing and brushing daily can prevent periodontal disease and tooth loss, which can make you feel 6.1 years younger.”
Here are 7 more dental oral care tips:
• Brush your teeth twice a day
• Floss daily
• Spend at least two to three minutes brushing (don’t brush too hard it can damage the gums)
• Fluoride toothpaste
• New toothbrush every three months
• Decrease your intake of sugar, soda, and starchy foods
• Visit your dentist regularly
