Beautiful Smiles don’t always happen naturally, sometimes the best things need a little time and effort!
We know that making new healthy habits can be tricky and that maintaining those habits can be even more difficult. By following the three rules below you’ll be drastically improving your oral health while reducing your risk for gum disease, tooth loss and other dental problems.
1. Brush and Floss Daily
We know you’ve heard this over and over, we probably sound like a broken record! Maintaining regular flossing and brushing habits is the number one way to have a healthy mouth! To keep that beautiful smile your need to be flossing at least once a day and brushing twice a day. Regularly visiting the Accent Dental team should also be part of your regular routine – don’t wait until you’ve found a problem, help us get ahead of it and keep you from any discomfort!
2. Watch What you Eat and Drink!
Citrus, coffee, red wine, sugar and carbohydrates can all have adverse effects on your teeth and gums. Now we don’t want you to cut out anything completely! Just make sure you’re not overdoing it in any of these areas. A healthy diet aids your entire body, including your teeth and gums.
3. Don’t Smoke!
Everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health, and that includes dental health! Not only does it create bad breath and stained teeth, people who smoke increase their chances of getting fine lines around their mouth.
