It is very important to keep track of your dental health. Scheduling an appointment every six months is critical to your overall health and well-being. Crestridge Dental in Burnsville, MN can help you stay up-to-date with your cleanings and more.
Some ways to practice preventative care are:
- Brush your teeth two-three times every day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Fluoride toothpaste is the best to remove plaque and food particles
- Brush your tongue as well – plaque and bad breath germs can build up there
- Floss at least once a day
- Use mouthwash to freshen breath and kill germs
- Eat a balanced diet avoiding sugary snacks
- Raw vegetables, fruit, cheese, and plain yogurt can improve your oral hygiene
- Regular checkups for professional cleanings
- Ask about a special mouth guard to protect your mouth while playing sports
- Ask about sealants that place a protective coating on your chewing teeth
