Valentine’s day is almost here so now is a great time to spend an extra few minutes looking after your oral health. A healthy smile is the key to a great Valentine’s day date ensuring that you have the confidence to snuggle up to your loved ones this Valentine’s day.
We have been talking to Dr Patel to find Ringmer Dental’s top tips for a kissable smile this Valentine’s Day!
- 1. Don’t forget the basics
It is important to ensure that you always complete a thorough and effective oral hygiene routine. This should involve brushing your teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste. Helping to reduce the risk of decay, gun disease and bad breath. You should also use interdental cleaning aids daily to clean in between your teeth, reaching the areas that brushing alone misses.
2. Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water not only helps to give you more energy and keeps your body functioning as it should, but drinking plenty of water also helps to wash away the bacteria from your mouth that could cause plaque and bad breath. Drinking enough water can help to freshen your breath and make your mouth a lot more kissable.
- 3. Visit the team at Ringmer Dental for routine appointments
It may seem obvious, but it is amazing how many people defer or avoid attending their routine dental health checks as they do not think they have any problems. By making time for your routine dental health checks you can ensure that the dentist will pick up on any problems early, reducing the risk of painful emergencies and complex treatment. Hygienist appointments help to ensure that you keep your smile looking bright and healthy for a lifetime.
