We can’t stress brushing your teeth enough! One benefit to brushing your teeth is reducing bad breath. Brushing removes the plaque from your mouth. Plaque is an odor causing bacteria that causes bad breath if not removed often. Brushing your teeth twice a day is the most important part of preventative dentistry. Dr. Webb recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. We also recommend replacing your toothbrush at least three to four times a year, or if the bristles start to fray.

Something many people ignore is flossing, yet this is an important part to preventing cavities and related issues. We recommend flossing your teeth daily. Flossing cleans the spaces between your teeth where food can get stuck. Flossing removes hard to reach plaque and food particles. It also helps prevent gum disease. If you have braces, we recommend using floss threaders to help with getting between the metal brackets.

Eating a well balanced diet helps protect your teeth by providing them the correct nutrients they need. You should limit your sugar intake and drink plenty of water. If drinking acidic drinks, such as coffee or soda, try to drink them quickly instead of drinking them over a long period of time. This prevents the drinks from wearing down your teeth over long periods of time.
