Comprehensive Guide to Perfect Oral Hygiene: Brushing, Flossing, DietRegular Check ups

Our dedicated team at Southcommon Dental has compiled the Ultimate Guide to Oral Hygiene for you. By following these four simple steps, you can ensure your mouth stays healthy and your smile remns radiant.

Step 1: Brushing Your Teeth Regularly

Proper brushing is crucial in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. When brushing, you're eliminating bacteria that promote tooth decay and the plaque responsible for gum disease.

How to Do It Right

• Angle your brush at a 45-degree angle relative to where gums meet teeth.

• Use gentle, circular motions while brushing up and down on every tooth surface including chewing, cheek, and tongue sides.

• Take your time; m for at least two minutes each session without rushing.

Tool Tips

Choose a soft-bristled brush with rounded tips. The right size should allow you to reach all teeth, especially those at the back of your mouth. There are many varieties avlable - ask your dentist or hygienist which one suits your needs best.

Replace your toothbrush every three months to keep it effective for clean brushes.

Step 2: Interdental Cleaning

Interdental cleaning ensures plaque and bacteria don't accumulate in hard-to-reach spaces between teeth where tooth brushing alone might miss.

How to Clean

• Use dental floss, tape, interdental brushes or an electric water flosser at least once a day.

• Gently insert the brush through gaps without forcing it as you may risk damaging your gums.

Size Tips

Interdental brushes come in different sizes - seek advice from your dentist or hygienist to find the perfect fit for your mouth.

Step 3: Avoid Harmful Substances

Mntning good oral health is not just about brushing and flossing. It's also crucial to limit harmful substances:

• Reduce Sugar Intake: Bacteria in your mouth feed on sugar, causing more plaque.

• Avoid Acidic Foods Drinks: Acid weakens tooth enamel over time, exposing the sensitive part of teeth vulnerable to decay.

• Cut Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol can irritate oral tissues and reduce healing after dental surgeries.

Tips

To mntn healthy gums, consider regular visits to your dentist. They offer comprehensive check-ups that go beyond at-home care.
