Taking good care of your mouth and teeth throughout your life can help prevent both dental and medical problems. You can do this by brushing and flossing every day, and seeing your dentist regularly.
Consider everything you expect your mouth to do every day. Use your mouth to eat, smile, talk and more. Poor oral health can affect all of these things.
Having a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums can also have general health benefits. Systemic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease improve with better dental health.
Good oral health is not difficult to achieve, but it does require discipline. Follow these tips to take care of the life of your mouth and teeth.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Also brush your tongue.
- Floss at least once a day.
- Do not smoke or chew tobacco, which can stain teeth, give you bad breath and cause cancer.
- Wear the proper protective helmet while playing contact sports.
- Visit the dentist every 6 months for regular checkups and cleanings.
