Every new year we all get a fresh
start, an opportunity to make changes in our lives. You may be considering
resolving to save more money, get a better job or lose weight. Many people set
new goals about having a healthier lifestyle in the new year. Why not make one
of your New Year’s resolutions improving your dental health? Below are a few healthy
resolutions can keep your teeth healthy for years to come.
Change
Your Toothbrush at Least Every Three Months
Even
though your brush may look normal, after three months the bristles become
weakened and are not effective. It is also a good idea to get a new toothbrush
after an illness. And never (yuck) share your toothbrush with anyone.
Eat
Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables
Eating well is important for your
dental health. Poor nutrition can affect the entire immune system, increasing
susceptibility to many common oral disorders, including gum (periodontal)
disease. Antioxidants and other nutrients found in fruits, vegetables, legumes
and nuts improve your body’s ability to fight bacteria and inflammation,
helping to protect your teeth and gums. In addition, crisp fruits and raw
vegetables like apples, carrots and celery help clean plaque from teeth and
freshen breath.
See
Your Dentist for Regular Checkups
By seeing your dentist at least
twice a year, you can help prevent any dental health problems before they cause
discomfort or require more comprehensive or expensive treatment. Regular visits
allow your dentist to monitor your oral health and recommend a dental health
regimen to address areas of concern.
For this new year, resolve to treat
your mouth right: improve your diet, quit smoking and improve your oral hygiene
habits – your teeth and your body will thank you for it!
