Spring Dental Cleaning For World Oral Health Day
The spring season brings warmer weather, beautiful blooms, and World Oral Health Day. Spring is a time of renewal, which means cleaning out the old and bringing in the new. We spring clean our homes, our yards, our offices, our minds, so why not our teeth.
March 20th is World Oral Health Day, and it's a day focused on bringing awareness to proper oral health and educating about dental hygiene. A healthy mouth is more than just a pretty smile. It takes work and the best time for new beginnings is now. How do you spring into a brand new, renewed, and brightened smile?
HOW TO GET THAT NEW SPRING SMILE:
Since most of your oral hygiene happens at home, make sure you get in the habit of:
Brushing teeth and gums twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes each time in a gentle, circular motion
Flossing at least once a day
Switching out your toothbrush every three months
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush
Using a scraper to clean off the surface of your tongue
Eat tooth-friendly foods
Drink plenty of water
