In 2009, Dental Hygiene Awareness Month was created with the goal of reminding people of the importance of oral health as well as how to prevent tooth decay and other common problems. If you\u2019re just now hearing about it, that\u2019s okay \u2013 it\u2019s never too late to take a look at your dental care regimen and make improvements where needed. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, then read on for five tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Floss Every Morning or Evening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your toothbrush only cleans about 60% of the surface of your teeth. To remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria from the other 40%, you need to floss every single day \u2013 no exceptions. If this isn\u2019t a part of your routine already, then put a note on your bathroom mirror to help make it a habit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Brush Your Teeth for Two Full Minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, brushing your teeth twice a day isn\u2019t enough if you are just dampening the bristles with water and quickly running them over the surface. You need to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste for a full two minutes. Time yourself \u2013 it\u2019s longer than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Rinse with an Antimicrobial Mouthwash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to brushing twice a day and flossing consistently, you need to rinse with mouthwash to help prevent plaque buildup, keep your breath fresh, and clean the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Make sure you do so for the full 30-60 seconds too. Otherwise, you won\u2019t get the full effect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t Over-Indulge on Sugar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Halloween at the end of the month and holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, October is basically the beginning of sugar season. Despite that, it\u2019s important that you keep your intake of sweet treats to a minimum. It\u2019s a small thing that will make a big impact on your oral health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Schedule Your Next Dental Visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that oral health problems, like tooth decay, are caught early on and that harmful substances, like plaque, don\u2019t have a chance to buildup, you need to get a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year. If your second one of 2024 isn\u2019t on the calendar, then make that a priority this October!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
