Tips For A Healthy Mouth

 Twice A Day:  Brush your teeth and gums twice a day!  Morning and Evening and always use a soft toothbrush.
 Clean:  Crowns and Bridgework need to be cleaned daily.  Your Dentist would have shown you how to care for your dental work.  Flossers, picks, or interdental brushes can be used to clean around and under crowns and bridgework.
  Dentures:  If you have dentures or partial dentures, rinse them after each meal and clean them every day with a soft toothbrush.
  Drinks and Foods:  Stay away from sugary drinks and foods.  Having high sugars or starches will increase your risk of tooth decay. #Downbythebay
  Dry Mouth:  If you struggle with dry mouth, this increases your risk of tooth decay.  Dry mouth symptoms can be relieved with water, a saliva substitute product, or a sugar-free lozenge.  Speak to your dentist or physician if you struggle with dry mouth.
  Caregivers:  If you have a loved one being taken care of by a caregiver, make sure your loved one is getting the oral hygiene care they need.  #sweetwaterdentist
  Dentist:  Don’t skip out on those routine dental exams!  Dental Office in Robertsdale AL
