Interesting Statistics
6 Things That Can Destroy A Healthy Smile
Brushing your teeth twice a day is important. But did you know that flossing at least once a day is just as important to a healthy smile. Flossing removes cavity-causing bacteria left behind from small particles of food that get stuck between teeth. Although bleeding and irritation sometimes can occur when you first start flossing, it’s important to keep at it. Your gums will toughen up and your smile will be better for it.
Consuming acidic foods and drinks, such as sports and energy drinks, citrus fruits, wine, and tomatoes, can erode tooth enamel—the glossy outer layer of the tooth. Brushing your teeth too soon after eating and drinking these items can cause more damage because you are essentially brushing the acid into the teeth, not getting rid of it. Instead, you should rinse your mouth with water after consuming acidic foods and beverages and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing.
Not only are old toothbrushes ineffective, but they also harbor harmful bacteria that can cause infections. Toothbrushes should be changed every three to four months. It’s also important to change your toothbrush after you’ve been sick.
Overzealous bleaching can cause your teeth to look unnaturally white and increase tooth sensitivity. Before using an at-home bleaching product, talk to Dr. Jackie.
A hard-bristled toothbrush coupled with an aggressive brushing technique can cause irreversible damage. Use a soft toothbrush and gently brush your teeth at a 45-degree angle, in a circular motion. Using a back-and-forth, sawing motion causes the gums to recede, and can expose the root of the tooth, making teeth extremely sensitive and unattractive. An electric toothbrush is a better alternative.
#6 – Tobacco Use
There are many good reasons to stop smoking, but when it comes to teeth, you may not know that smokers’ teeth create plaque and tarter more easily and at a higher rate of speed than non-smokers. This can mean more frequent trips to the dentist to have the tartar professionally removed. While we enjoy seeing our patients, we just want you to be healthy and happy.
#7 – Visiting your dentist every 6 months is probably the #1 thing that you can do to protect your smile.
Routine visits make for easier and faster cleanings, while also allowing for any problems to be detected and treated before they turn into bigger issues. If time is what has kept you away in the past – remember, Colorado Healthy Smiles is conveniently located right off Hwy 287 in Lafayette…only 3 miles from Louisville, and just 6 miles from Broomfield! Also know…we are a NO JUDEMENT office, so you won’t hear any lectures from us!
