Take Care of Your Toothbrush<\/h2>\nYour toothbrush takes care of your teeth, but you also have to take care of your toothbrush. Be sure to store it out in the open in an upright position. Keeping it in a closed contain prevents it from drying, and that moist environment contributes to major bacteria growth.\n\nAnother aspect of caring for your toothbrush is knowing when to retire it. Most adults need a new brush every three to four months; stay on the watch for frayed bristles so you know when it\u2019s time to make a switch.\n

Don\u2019t Neglect Your Tongue<\/h2>\nSome people are so focused on brushing their teeth that they neglect their tongue. That\u2019s a mistake because this little group of muscles can easily collect bacteria that cause bad breath. Some toothbrushes have special attachments that make them great for cleaning the tongue and cheeks, but you might also think about investing in a tongue scraper. It\u2019s a simple tool that quickly removes icky buildup from the tongue\u2019s surface and leaves your mouth feeling extra fresh.\n

Visit Your Dentist Twice a Year<\/h2>\nYour family dentist in Ormond Beach loves to share their knowledge about all things that relate to oral health! When you visit the office for your biannual cleaning and exam<\/a>, don\u2019t hesitate to ask all the questions you may have about dental hygiene or about anything else that relates to the well-being of your teeth and gums.\n

Remember that Fluoride Is Your Friend<\/h2>\nLots of kids need fluoride treatments to fortify their teeth, but this mineral is also essential for grown-up smiles. It helps to strength tooth enamel and replace tiny bits of it that get worn away throughout the day. Always use a toothpaste that contains fluoride, and don\u2019t shy away from tap water that contains this important mineral.\n

Swap Out Sugary Drinks for Water and Milk<\/h2>\nSugar is terrible for teeth. It interacts with the bacteria in your mouth and leads to plaque and decay. Sugary drinks like soda are particularly notorious for their potential to damage oral health. While it\u2019s okay to have a sweet treat once in a while, we hope you\u2019ll choose to drink smile-friendly beverages, such as water and milk, most of the time.\n\nMaintaining a healthy mouth doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. When you apply the above tips, your teeth and gums will be more likely to stay strong and beautiful for many years to come.\n\nAbout Your Dentist in Ormond Beach<\/strong>\n\nDr. Andrew Nawrocki, one of the talented dentists in our practice, is a highly trained oral health specialist who takes great pride in helping his patients maintain sound teeth and gums.
