How to Have a Top-Notch Mouth This Spring

Do you want to have strong and healthy teeth and gums this spring? If so, our dentists, Dr. Christian Berdy and Dr. Cary Berdy are happy to help you reach that goal! The stronger and healthier your teeth and gums are, the better off your smile will be. Fortunately, there are many things you can do this spring to help you have the top-notch mouth you deserve. Those things are:

-Brush twice a day: When you brush, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. It’s best to brush every morning and every night. If you can brush after lunch at work or at school, that can help your smile as well. Brushing can remove plaque, bacteria and food from the surfaces of your teeth to keep them healthy and strong.

-Floss once a day: When you floss, use a product that is easy to use. This can help you avoid forcing the floss into place and injuring the gums. Some products that are handy to use include waxed dental floss and a water flosser. Flossing can remove dangerous substances from between your teeth and help you prevent cavities and gum disease.

-Attend your dental checkups: If you’re due for a checkup this season, then it’s important to set a reminder for yourself so you don’t forget. Dental checkups are extremely important for your oral health. The treatments provided are the only way to remove tartar (hardened plaque, which is a toxic substance) from the smile.
