3 Steps Towards Maintaining a Healthy Smile
Studies have found that a person’s smile is one of the primary features others notice, especially with first impressions. Maintaining a healthy smile is achievable by all. By taking just three simple steps, you can achieve a smile that you will have confidence in showing.
Step 1.) Brush twice a day. Brushing is your MVP when it comes to enjoying a healthy, great-looking smile. It’s a habit most people have performed daily since childhood, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they get it right. For the best results that will make your smile truly shine, you need to brush for at least 2 minutes in the morning and again at night, taking care to remove plaque from all tooth surfaces. Consider purchasing a mechanical toothbrush and use an ADA-approved toothpaste containing fluoride. Desensitizing toothpaste is effective at reducing brushing associated tooth discomfort.
Step 2.) Floss daily, yes, really! If brushing is the MVP, then flossing is the ever-trusty sidekick in
the fight against tooth decay and gum disease. Flossing works to remove food particles and harmful bacteria that linger in the mouth in areas where a toothbrush cannot reach: between your teeth and below the gum line. These areas comprise over 33 percent of your total mouth. That means you fail to clean about a third of your mouth every time you decide not to floss. If that wasn’t convincing enough, consider that the most common place for cavities to form is actually between your teeth. Additionally, gingivitis/periodontal disease that occurs with inadequate plaque removal can create chronic inflammation that is unhealthy, not just for our mouth but for our general health as well. Do your smile a favor and take the time to floss thoroughly every day.
Step 3.) Schedule regular exams and cleanings at our family dental office in Gresham. While brushing and flossing contribute with keeping your smile looking its best each day, regular professional cleanings allow our gentle and thorough hygienist to help you clean areas that are harder to reach and remove tenacious deposits (calculus/tartar) from your teeth that brushing and flossing can’t. Regular exams provide Dr. Archibald the chance to spot any signs of dental disease early, while treatment options are often less invasive and less expensive to treat. Dr. Archibald can also discuss aesthetic improvements to place teeth in their proper positions, change the color of dark teeth or improve the appearance of discolored, worn, and broken teeth. Make the time to commit to these three steps, and you’ll enjoy the healthy and attractive smile you deserve.
