Basic rules for oral and dental hygiene

Eat a healthy and balanced diet, drink plenty of water because it contributes greatly to moisturizing and increases the amount of saliva in the mouth. Avoid as much as possible foods that stick to the teeth. Avoid eating between main meals because it helps to form a plaque layer that lead to tooth decay.Avoid excessive drinking of soft drinks, coffee, and tea as they cause stains and yellowing of teeth, also citrus drinks cause erosion to the protective enamel layer, thus weakening your teeth. Eat high-fiber foods (apples and carrots) to strengthen gum tissue.

Brushing immediately after eating, especially before bedtime, preferably using a toothpaste containing fluoride. Keep an additional toothbrush at your workplace to clean your teeth after each meal. Use a soft toothbrush to avoid bleeding of the gums, replace our toothbrush with a new one every 3 months. Use the dental floss once a day, as it will help you to reach the bacteria positioned in places where the toothbrush cannot reach.Drinking water every couple of hours ensures that the teeth are clean.
Clean the tongue constantly as it is considered the largest store of bacteria in the mouth.Quit Smoking, regular visits to the dentist once every 6 months for early examination, professional cleaning, and treatments.
Take sufficient time to clean the teeth. The best way to clean the teeth, by gently installing the toothbrush on the gum line and make sure it touches the gums and tooth surface. Move the toothbrush in a circular motion on the surface of the teeth from inside and outside, and repeat the same steps on the rest of the internal teeth in the mouth. Clean the tongue using a toothbrush, then the mouth is washed with water well.

The smile is the start of communication with others, which beautifies the whole face and breaks the ice between two. The beautiful smile, however, is made up of essential elements: lips, gums, teeth, and palate. Cosmetic dentistry is not only about beautiful form, but it starts with the health of the teeth, gums, and mouth in general. Teeth whitening is a broad concept that includes teeth cleaning, whitening, straightening, and even veneering them if needed. For this reason, it is necessary to visit Nepean Dental Implants & Cosmetic clinic periodically to prevent the aggravation of small dental problems.
