Optimal Brushing And Flossing
Brushing and flossing is the most important part of your daily home hygiene. However, even more significant is ensuring you are doing your best. For optimal results, consider the following guidelines:
Say “No” To Sodas
Soda is a major contributor to tooth decay. When the sugar in your soda mixes with the bacteria in your mouth, you create a highly acidic environment, which may eat away at your teeth. In addition, the acidity of diet drinks creates a similar scenario. This may cause weakening of your teeth’s outer layer, called enamel, and may result in cavity formation. However, if you choose to drink a soda, consider the following tips:
Use a straw to protect your teeth from exposure.
Rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after drinking a soda to remove sugar and acid.
If you feel thirsty, reach for water, which is good for your teeth and, unlike soda, offers wonderful hydration.
