Tips for Better Dental Health

Follow these tips for better dental health:

Even if you are not experiencing pain or discomfort, it is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a check-up and cleaning.
Bring your child for a check-up six months after the first baby tooth appears. It is good to begin good oral hygiene habits at home. Talk to your dentist or hygienist.
Do not allow your infant to use the feeding bottle as a pacifier, unless it contains only water.
Wipe your baby’s gums daily with a clean warm damp washcloth.
Brush your teeth at least two times a day using a toothpaste with fluoride.
Floss at least once a day.
Avoiding snacking frequently in between meals on snacks such as sodas, juices, and candy.
Choose healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables, and popcorn.
Wear a mouth guard when playing sports.
Wear a night guard at bedtime if you grind your teeth during your sleep.
