Thanks to fluoride in toothpaste and drinking water, better nutrition and improved dental care, Americans' teeth are healthier than ever. But that doesn't mean you can neglect yours. Decay is still one cause of tooth loss and gum disease is responsible for most tooth loss in adults age 35 and older. The best way to prevent these and other problems is to master the basics of daily dental care, especially the proper ways of brushing and flossing.
A great looking smile is often the first thing that people will notice about you and it is an easy thing to maintain if you take proper care of your teeth.
Tips
for healthy dental care
Use
fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent the bacteria in plaque from causing cavities.
Most drinking water is fluoridated, and toothpastes and mouth rinses with the ADA seal contain proper amounts of fluoride.
Eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables, cereals, dairy
products, and meat. Calcium is essential for strong teeth and bones. Good
sources include milk, cheese, yogurt, and tofu.
Don't chew on hard substances like ice or popcorn kernels and don't grind
your teeth. These habits can damage to the enamel.
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco can stain your teeth, and contribute to gum
disease or even cause oral cancer. Anyway, PLEASE
don't smoke because it's not healthy.
Excessive amounts of coffee, tea or red wine may stain in your teeth.
See your dentist every six months for a general check up and cleaning.
Replace That Old Tooth Brush! -- Dentists and hygienists recommend
changing your toothbrush at least three times a
year. Most Americans replace their toothbrushes every 9 to 12 months. But dentists recommend replacing a toothbrush every three to four months, because worn bristles may not clean teeth and gums effectively. So if your current brush has seen better days, make a change. And while you're at it look for a toothbrush that has dual bristles to remove bacterial plaque between teeth at the gum line.
