5 Essential Dental Health Tips

• Use the right mouthwash kit

Using the wrong toothbrush and mouthwash/toothpaste does more harm than good to the teeth. To be on the safer side, avoid hard-bristled toothbrushes that damage gums and embrace a soft-bristled toothbrush which is usually the best option.  Also, it’s best to only use toothpaste or mouthwash rich in fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.

• Brush properly

Neglecting the thumb rule of brushing twice daily affects one’s dental health in the long run. Always endeavour to brush in the morning and night preferably, to get rid of germs that have been accumulated during the day. Also, brush gently and inclusively, without forgetting your tongue, gums and sides.  

• Eat healthily

Prioritize eating healthy food and limit sugary food and drinks, as they hasten tooth decay. Eating more fruits and vegetables also helps in improving dental health.

• Drink enough water

Drinking enough helps in keeping the mouth moist, which can help to prevent plaque buildup.

• Go for dental checkups

Create time to visit your dentist, at least once or twice annually. Doing so will help prevent any dental complications, as your dentist will be able to spot potential issues and offer treatment solutions before they get out of hand.
