Making simple changes to your dental routine will set you up for a happier, healthier life – as your dental health plays a vital role to your general health, well-being and quality of life. Here are our top suggestions to help improve your dental health in 2020.

Commit to regularly brushing and flossing 

The best protection for your smile against tooth decay and gum disease is brushing – but the reality is many of us take little thought about our brushing technique. For maximum benefit, you should take due care in brushing for at least two minutes twice a day using a use a soft-bristle toothbrush and brushing in small, circular motions. Do not forget flossing – this will get rid of the remaining plaque in between your teeth!

Deal with that dry mouth

Often with medications, or with diet you may notice bad breath and/or a dry mouth! Do not leave this ignored, as you can always have more chewy foods such as celery to promote saliva production.

Reduce your sugar intake

Each time you consume food and drinks containing sugar you feed the bacteria in your mouth which cause tooth decay. To help prevent cavities and tooth decay, pay attention to what you are eating and drinking on a day-to-day basis.
