In order to protect your smile, you should be careful about what you eat. Regular consumption of sugar can lead to an increased risk of developing dental cavities. It can also contribute to the development of gum disease. Healthy foods like fruits and vegetables can help to provide your body and your smile with the nutrients that are needed. That said, you will still need to limit your sugar intake.
Brushing is a good start to caring for your smile, but flossing is just as important. That’s because flossing helps to remove the bacteria that can lodge between teeth, where bristles cannot reach.
Daily flossing only takes a few minutes, yet it can help to reduce your risk of developing dental problems.
Another way you can help to protect your smile is by scheduling routine dental cleanings. During these visits, the dentist can help to remove tartar buildup from the surface of the teeth.
That said, if your gums have already become inflamed or even infected, a deeper periodontal cleaning could be necessary to restore your oral health.
