Hey San Diego! As you know keeping your teeth clean is one of the most important ways to look after your health and appearance. Not only will a nice smile with diamond-white teeth light up your whole face (and bring you dividends in business and relationships) but it will also mean you re less likely to lose teeth and go through painful dental operations next time you visit your San Diego Dentist. Even more than that however, keeping your teeth clean and paying attention to your oral hygiene can help prevent the build up of bacteria in your mouth leading to a reduced risk of heart disease and strokes. So here some tips to help you ensure your teeth and gums are as clean as they could be at all times:

Scrape your tongue – Scraping your tongue can help you remove extra grime and bacteria that builds up on your tongue. This will make your mouth a healthier place and put less stress on your immune system. Furthermore it will give you that fresh feeling you want before you go to bed. Make it a habit to scrap your tongue after brushing.

Use an electric toothbrush – An electric toothbrush has several advantages over a normal one and can help you get the same kind of tooth cleaning that you get at your local San Diego dentist. By using an electric toothbrush you manage to increase the number of brushes per second tenfold and due to its automated nature you re also less likely to damage your gums by brushing too hard. As though that wasn t enough reason to go electric they ll also help you reach areas that you otherwise wouldn t be able to.

Use mouthwash regularly – Mouth wash will again help to freshen your mouth (and get rid of bad breath which is caused by a build up of bacteria), but it will also help wash off excess plaque and grime on your teeth.

Use a good toothpaste – A good toothpaste should serve many purposes making your teeth strong and healthy while removing stains and whitening your smile. Don t cut corners by going for the cheapest available brand. Ask your San Diego Dentist for advice to find the right toothpaste for you.

Be careful what you eat – The old adage goes that you are what you eat, and with your teeth so crucial to the eating process that goes double for them. Try to avoid drinking too many acidic drinks or too much tea and coffee and avoid sugary sweets.

Make regular visits to your dentist – They will give your teeth a professional clean, look for any problems and can also alert you to other health issues even. Go regularly and it will be a pleasant and painless trip, put it off and the news won t be so good.

Floss – Flossing your teeth helps you clean plaque from hard to reach areas, kills a lot more bacteria and removes food stuck in your teeth which can erode or stain them or even cause them to grow awkwardly.
