Dental Spring Cleaning at Cardiff Dental

When you start thinking about spring cleaning, there’s a decent chance your mind automatically leaps to getting your home in shape after being stuck inside during the winter.

But spring is also a great time to refresh and clean other areas of your life. So, when your mind turns to spring cleaning don’t neglect your oral health.

After all, oral health is essential to your overall health, and a brilliant smile looks and feels great, attracting others and giving them a good first impression of you.

So, this spring take some time to renew your oral health. At Cardiff Dental we’d like to suggest the following approaches to a spring cleaning for your teeth.

Changes you can make

Time for a new toothbrush. Spring is a great time to retire your old toothbrush and get a new one. You have used a brush way too long if it is starting to look dingy or the bristles are flattened or splayed. If you have an electric brush, it is time to order new brushes for it to last the rest of the year.

Here are some other toothbrush tips:

• Rinse. After use, take a few moments to rinse your brush off.
• Keep moisture away. After you have used your toothbrush and rinsed it, store it in an upright position to keep moisture away.
• Never share your toothbrush. Not even with other members of your family.
• Wash your hands. During the day, your hands contact many germs. The simplest way to be sure you aren’t spreading these germs is to wash your hands.

Make sure your dental products stay clean. You might want to rethink where you store your toothbrush and dental hygiene products. Try to keep them as far away from the toilet as possible and not right next to the sink where splashes from hand washing can reach them. This can help you to stay healthy throughout the year.

Upgrade your toothbrush? You wouldn’t use a broom on your rug if you had a vacuum, right? It makes sense to use the most powerful tool available, and the electric toothbrush is that tool for dental care.

Electric toothbrushes removed debris better and with less effort on your part. They are great for people with poor toothbrushing technique or problems with their hands that make brushing difficult. Besides, these brushes come will cool features like built-in timers to ensure you brush each part of your mouth for the proper time!

Drink water. The spring/summer drinks we enjoy often contain high levels of sugars and acids that can attack tooth enamel. Pure water has no sugar nor calories, which makes it the perfect choice for rinsing the mouth out between meals and snacks, and the best choice for refreshment.
