Protect your smile from dental trauma during the holidays!
Winter is coming, and if you are anything like us, you are likely busy preparing for the holidays to celebrate with family and friends.
If you want a strong and healthy smile, our dentist, Dr. Victor Zeines, is more than happy to help you reach your smile goals. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to clean and care for your teeth and achieve the top-notch smile you want. It’s best to do these things regularly. Our dentist is happy to share some tricks that will help you achieve a healthy smile. Those tricks are:
-Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
-Floss once a day with a flossing tool that is easy to use. This helps reduce your chances of damaging the gums.
-Rinse with mouthwash daily with a fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash.
-Attend your checkups every six months. These appointments are vital because they deeply clean the teeth and gums and help you prevent dental issues.
-Use fluoride. This beneficial mineral strengthens the tooth enamel and shields the teeth from bacteria and other harmful substances.
-Brush properly. Vigorously brushing can irritate the gums and wear down the tooth enamel. Make sure to brush softly and use the proper tools.
-Eat foods that are healthy for the teeth like dairy products, fruits, vegetables and protein products.
