There is a necessity that you should actually pay attention to your health and every part of your body and one of them is our teeth. It goes beyond just having a bright and charming smile, but trust me it is very important for our health. And that is why a very good established dental care routine can help to keep your teeth healthy and helps to prevent issues like tooth decay, gum disease and all other issues that might want to threaten the health state of your body.
Whenever we have the chance to share our dental care routine, we should because we might not know, it might go a long way to help and encourage anothe individual to also pay attention to dental care. Today I will be sharing with us some of my basic dental care routine I engaged in which have been of great help for my teeth health.
- Brushing Twice a Day:
This will certainly be the First. I have come to discover that every dental care routine is built on the foundation of nothing less than brushing your teeth twice a day. You can have it either in the morning and at least the last time before finally retiring to the bed. I make sure that I get a fluoride toothpaste so as to help me deal with cavities issues.
Then of course you need to understand that your teeth did not need a very hard toothbrush as it can damage your gum. So I make sure that I make use of a very soft toothbrush which will not damage my gum or my tooth enamel. Lastly the popular mistake a lot of people make is that they rush to brush their teeth. Take adequate time not just spending two minutes brushing your teeth. Spend quality time brushing both the back and even the chewing areas of your teeth.
- Using Mouthwash:
Another routine I make sure I engaged into is to make use of mouthwash. What do I mean by a mouthwash. When you are able to get a very good mouthwash, it can help to kill any bacteria that might want to exist in your teeth and not only that but also helps to freshen your breath much more better. You need to make sure they it actually suits your desire need for your teeth.
What do I mean by that? There are of course some mouthwash that are only designed to help you fight a lot of gum disease. For some it is to help reduce tej sensitivity in your teeth. Anyone you will be getting, make sure that you get a very good mouthwash.
- Staying Hydrated:
Even though many of us might be shocked with this but I discovered that staying hydrated goes a long way to put your teeth in a very healthy state. Make sure that you always take enough water during the day. I do that and I must confess that I noticed the changes as before.
One of the things that staying hydrated does to you is that it helps to wash away any food particles that might want to cause any bacteria in our teeth most especially when we finish taking our meal. Most of the time we always overlook it but it is very important for our oral hygiene at the end of the day.
- Eating a Tooth-Friendly Diet:
It will not be complete if I did not make mention of you taking a tooth friendly diet. One of the things I have noticed is that when you reduce the rate at which you take sugary level or even acidic food generally, you reduce the tendency of your teeth decaying.
Many of us did not know but acidic food and even sugary stuff always leads to tooth decay. Focus on fruits and vegetables. I take vegetables a lot as it helps to naturally clean our teeth and make sure that our teeth are strengthened.
- Replacing Your Toothbrush Regularly:
This might actually look so funny but that is just the truth. We need to constantly learn how to replace our toothbrush regularly. Some of us can make use of toothbrushes for months or even a year. This is not hygienic. Make sure that you constantly change your toothbrush at least in the interval of 3-4 months so that the bristles will not wear out.
- Visiting the Dentist Regularly:
Then the last dental care routine which I will like to share which I believe every one should engaged to is by constantly going for a routine dental checkup. There are some issues in your teeth that most of the time will not start manifesting now but as time goes on will start manifesting.
You need to always ensure that your teeth is in a good healthy state and one of the ways to actually do that is by you constantly visiting the dentist regularly for medical dental checkup. It is very important.

Hello @erikah I noticed that you have been constantly downvoting my posts, my comments recently.
I messaged you on discord to ask what might be the reason, you didn't replied and I have also tagged you on hive also, you still didn't reply.
I will be happy if I can know the reason because the downvotes are causing damage more than you can imagine.
If there is any reason you have for the downvotes, let me know
If there is anything you wish you want to call my attention to which is causing the downvotes, let me know and I will find a way of sorting it out.
I will be happy if the downvotes can stop
