8 Dental Care Tips for 2023

January 11, 2023 / by Violet & Anna / Leave a Comment

Whether you’re making it a New Year’s Resolution, or you’re just trying to build better dental care habits, it can be overwhelming trying to decide what is best for your teeth. Like all aspects of health, there is a lot of information online about what can help your teeth and what can’t.

To make it a little easier for you, we have condensed some of the best dental care information into a few top tips for you to follow below. Read on to learn more now.

Find a good toothpaste

Good toothpaste is essential to good dental care. It can help to reduce plaque build-up, clean teeth, fight germs, and freshen breath. There are many, many options for toothpaste out there, but the best ones are fluoride-based toothpastes. You can find high-fluoride toothpaste in many pharmacies, supermarkets, and online. Fluoride toothpaste can help to prevent tooth decay, too. Speak with your dentist if you’re concerned about tooth decay.

Floss daily

Many people skip flossing but it’s actually a really good way of further reducing plaque build-up. It allows you to reach further between your teeth, where your toothbrush can’t reach, and it can help remove any pieces of food stuck there. Additionally, it can help to reduce inflammation and stimulate your gums for better overall dental hygiene.

Skip the sugary drinks and opt for water

Sugar is a nightmare for teeth. Many products these days contain a tonne of added sugar which is not only terrible for your teeth, but it is also bad for your overall health, too. Try avoiding the sugary and fizzy drinks this year and instead opt for plain water.

Water is, of course, better for your health. It helps you to hydrate, replenishes the cells in your body, and it can even reduce the impact of acidity and sugar on your teeth if drunk after a meal.

See your dentist regularly

Checking in with your dentist regularly will ensure that you avoid any problems and catch issues earlier. If you do develop a problem with your dental health, it is best to find out sooner rather than later. This can help to avoid lots of pain and high bills. In addition, a dental hygienist can give your teeth a spring clean and help to keep them in their best shape!

Brush gently

Proper brushing technique requires a good toothbrush that is changed regularly and brushing in gentle circles. You should brush all parts of your teeth, gums, and tongue for the best results.

Build a dental care routine

One of the easiest ways to remember all of these tips is to build them into your dental care routine. This means that in the morning and on an evening before bed, you go through the steps of brushing and flossing to build the habit and ensure it gets done properly every single day.

Limit your alcohol intake

Limiting your alcohol intake will limit the acidity and sugar that you consume and can reduce your risk of tooth decay. Alcohol is often mixed with fizzy drinks, too. If you’re already cutting down on fizzy drinks, try cutting down on alcohol also and see how it helps to improve your dental health.

Quit smoking

Smoking can wreak havoc on your dental health. Tobacco can lead to tooth decay and untreated tooth decay is much higher in those who smoke. Tobacco use can also lead to more serious problems, like oral cancer, gum disease, and other problems relating to your oral health.

While quitting smoking can seem challenging, it can help you improve not only your dental health, but your overall health too.
