How can I naturally take care of my teeth and gums?

 At one time or another, many people have had their dentist remind them to floss daily. Flossing is an important step in oral care that helps keep your gums healthy and prevents tooth decay. Properly flossing daily can also improve the health of your gum tissue and prevent bad breath caused by bacteria in plaque build-up on teeth.

 

For most people, a length of Dental Floss is adequate to clean between all teeth in a single pass. If you have very tight contacts between your teeth, a longer piece may be needed. To properly floss:

• Use gentle pressure as you slide the strand into each contact point between two teeth (do not snap).

• Gently move the strand back and forth along the contact point while sliding it under the gum line (not above). Keep moving until you reach another contact point or until there are no more spaces left between any portion of this set of teeth being cleaned; then repeat for other sets of teeth if needed/desired!

Brush Your Teeth Regularly

Brushing your teeth is the most important thing you can do to maintain healthy teeth and gums. It's important, however, that you brush for the right amount of time. Dentists recommend brushing at least twice a day for 2 minutes each time. Brush in small circles with a soft-bristled toothbrush, making sure to cover all areas of your mouth. Flossing daily will also help you remove food particles from in between your teeth.

 

Although plaque may be invisible, brushing your teeth regularly is critical for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Plaque is a sticky film that forms on the surface of your teeth. It can cause cavities and gum disease if it is not removed daily by brushing with a fluoride toothpaste or other fluoride product as directed by your dentist. Plaque also helps bacteria grow in our mouths and leads to bad breath.

To reduce tooth decay: Brush at least twice a day for two minutes each time with Toothpaste Tablets; floss daily; rinse mouth thoroughly after meals; eat less sugary food or drink less sugary drink such as sodas, juice drinks, etc.; avoid smoking because nicotine stains the teeth.

Flossing

Flossing is an important part of your oral hygiene routine. It helps remove plaque and food particles between teeth and around the gum line. Flossing should be done once a day, before brushing or in place of brushing if you don't have time for both. If you are not already flossing, start slowly and work up to doing it every day for about two weeks before adding another daily habit, such as brushing your tongue or making an effort to use less sugar in your diet.

Flossing should take only a few minutes; don't rush through it! Gently guide the Dental Floss between each tooth with short strokes (about five centimeters) all the way down into one arch then return along the same path until you reach the base of that tooth again before moving onto another one on either side of it. Move slowly to avoid damaging gums -- gently move back and forth at first until comfortable doing more intricate motions like "C"s or "L" patterns around each tooth's surface where there may be more buildup especially when eating sticky foods like peanut butter sandwiches which can leave tiny particles behind on our teeth after we've eaten them off our bread.

Toothbrush

If you're brushing your teeth, chances are you're using a toothbrush. But what kind of Toothbrush should you use?

There are two main types of bristles: soft and hard. Hard bristle types can damage enamel and gums, so look for a soft bristle with rounded tips. The brush should be soft enough to bend slightly when pressed against your teeth. This will help reach all areas more easily and gently clean the gums as well as the surfaces of the teeth.

Toothpaste tablets That Contains Fluoride

Toothpaste Tablets with fluoride is a great way to help fight cavities. Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth decay. It can be found in toothpaste, mouthwash and fluoride treatments at the dentist's office. Fluoride works by strengthening your teeth on the inside and out, which makes them more resistant to decay-causing acids in plaque that form when you eat sugary foods or drink drinks with sugar (like soda).
