Add a Mouthwash to Your Dental Health Arsenal

Besides getting a professional dental cleaning, you can’t beat the combo of toothbrush and toothpaste when it comes to oral hygiene. Although, consider that there are other dental aids that can help you in your quest for mouth cleanliness. Adding an antibacterial mouthwash to your daily hygiene routine can be excellent for your dental health. In the war against tooth decay, cracks and crevices are the enemies camp. Brushes can’t always get to all of those tiny spaces where bacteria hide. Doing a daily rinse with a dentist recommended mouthwash will help keep your teeth in gums in great shape. There a several helpful principles concerning mouthwash. Good mouthwashes can eliminate bad breath (aka halitosis), tackle tooth decay, remove plaque, battle gingivitis, and kill tartar from forming. Even those persistent individuals with great dental health who loyally floss daily will see improvement when using a mouthwash that contains antibacterial attributes. Are you using the right mouthwash? If you are searching for an over-the-counter mouthwash, closely examine the label to confirm that you are getting fluoride inside, which works to eradicate plaque, gingivitis, and cavities as well as bad breath. Look for the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance to be sure that you are getting a mouthwash that is more than just a breath freshener. Dental note: Swallowing large amounts of mouthwash can cause nausea, vomiting and in some products, intoxication due to the alcohol content. For this reason, we do not suggest mouthwash for children any younger than 6-years-old. Check the label for specific precautions.

Keep Your Smile Shining So It Can Always Be There to Serve You Well

Keep your smile shining so it can always be there to serve you well. Even though your teeth and gums can weaken or deteriorate over time, most damaging effects are caused by the foods you eat and the beverages you consume. Avoid dangerous products like sugary substances and your teeth will have a much greater chance to survive the oral hazards of a lifetime of wear. Here are some things you can do to protect your teeth: Always take the time to speak with and visit your licensed professionals at your dentist office. We will strive to always be there if you should suffer an oral accident or even if you simply need a professional cleaning. Try to have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice every year. On a day to day basis, you should do your best to do your part to help your teeth survive the rigors of dental erosion and oral injuries waiting to happen. With the foods you consume, always assume your teeth could crack from a tough piece of food. Exercise caution with products like candy apples, hard candy, corn on the cob, corn kernels, and beef jerky. In addition, it doesn’t take much brute force to knock loose teeth, so if you feel any activity you may be involved in, puts your teeth at risk, be sure to change your habits or wear appropriate safety equipment.
