Follow a dental care routine. Here I go again. Well folks, you cannot think of looking good and smelling nice if you skip your bath everyday (what a nasty idea!). Then why do you expect to sport a sparkling smile without taking care of your teeth daily.

Here’s what you should do if you want to woo people with your smile.

• Brush at least twice a day. Make sure you brush before you hit the bed. If you can manage brushing after all your meals, you will definitely boast of good dental health all your life.

• Wait for at least an hour after a meal before you pick up the toothbrush.
• Floss immediately after you brush. This helps clean your teeth thoroughly. Floss at least once a day.
• Clean you tongue using a scraper once a day. Do this immediately after you have brushed and flossed. Don’t be too hard on your tongue while cleaning it.
• Rinse your mouth after eating or drinking anything. Since brushing is not possible every time you pop something in your mouth, rinsing is a good option.
• Drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday. This will not only keep your mouth hydrated but also clean. A hydrated mouth prevents gum and dental diseases.
• Change your toothbrush every three months, even if it appears new. If it looks tattered sooner, change it right away.
• Don’t eat something sweet just before hitting the bed. Ending the day with a dessert may sound like a good idea but if you do indulge in one, make sure you follow it up with through brushing.

And yeah, don’t forget to visit your dentist once every six months. Happy smiling!
