A Proper Dental Care Routine for Healthy Smiles

Looking for steps to ensure a lifelong healthy smile for you and your family?

Let’s take a look at what you need to include and when. 

First – Brushing. This needs to be done without fail morning and night.  And, if possible, add a lunchtime brush.  Don’t brush right after eating, wait an hour then get a good brush in. 

Next – Flossing. Make sure that you are flossing.  Flossing is as important as brushing. Brushing cleans your tooth surfaces, while flossing cleans between your teeth.

Clean your tongue regularly, some dentists recommend cleaning your tongue every time you brush. Make sure it is a gentle clean; too much scraping maydamage your tongue.

Make sure to include your toothbrush, floss and tongue cleaner with your medication and bare necessities when traveling. 

Do not ignore warning signals from your teeth and gums or swelling in your mouth – they can be warning signals of bigger issues which you should see your Wayzata, Minnesota dentist for immediately.
