Daily dental care involves brushing and flossing but these are not the only things that will help you maintain a healthy smile. Let me share with you some tips to make sure your smile continues to smile.

• Use your index finger to rub a little baking soda on your teeth. This will give you instant whitening. However, don’t do this too often.

• Get a straw the next time you buy a juice, a carbonated drink, or any other sweet beverage. This will keep the sugar in the beverages from eroding the enamel of your teeth.
• Rinse your mouth well after eating or drinking anything. This is extremely important since you cannot brush every time you consume something.
• Change your toothbrush the moment it appears tattered. If it does not look tattered but you have been using it for four months, change it immediately.
• Pick up a whole fruit instead of its juice. The fruit will give you the necessary fiber. The juice tends to erode the teeth.
• Do not brush immediately after a meal. The teeth are extremely soft and vulnerable after a meal. Leave a gap of at least an hour after a meal before you reach for the toothbrush.
• Do not limit brushing to only the visible teeth. The bacteria in the rear teeth can ruin your smile. Make sure you clean each and every tooth every time you brush.
• Do not open bottles with your teeth. A healthy smile is the best way to flaunt the strength of your teeth.

Happy smiling!
