Did you know that brushing your teeth isn’t just about getting rid of the garlic breath and coffee stains? Good oral health is actually directly linked to good health overall. Keep your mouth and your body happy with a good oral hygiene routine.

One secret ingredient that many lazy brushers have been benefiting from for years is the flouride many municipalities put into the public water supply. Flouride is a mineral like calcium and after 50 years of testing has been proven as a safe addition to drinking water. Cities who have flouridated water have seen a marked decrease in the number of cavities for people, especially children, living in those areas. Make sure you’re getting enough flouride by swishing with a flouride rinse in the evenings if you don’t drink water, or only drink bottled water.

Another great way to improve your oral health is by flossing. The little string that runs up and down your teeth and under your gum line is doing more than just removing popcorn kernels. It’s scraping away the bacteria that cause plaque. Once the plaque hardens, it can be difficult to brush away. You don’t want plaque and bacteria, so make sure you’re flossing every day. Once a day is enough - more often isn’t helpful… unless of course you’re going after that stray piece of popcorn.

The most recent change I have made in my dental hygiene routine is switching over to a sonic care toothbrush. Although I liked giving my pearly whites a good workout with the free toothbrush from the dentist, I started seeing a lot of electric toothbrushes around and started to wonder if I was missing something. After all - the speed of the brush heads on those electric toothbrushes made me think I could be getting a lot more RPM’s on my teeth if I were using one.

When I asked my personal dentist if I should be using a sonic care toothbrush, his answer was a resounding yes. Other people in my family had been using about them, and I read about them in consumer reports. The data panned out so I decided to invest in a sonic toothbrush.

The sonic care toothbrush was easy to use (It almost made brushing fun!) and I could tell a difference. My teeth seemed whiter. My dentist could see a difference, too, so I decided to stick with the Sonicare brushing.

So - now I keep my teeth healthy by drinking flouridated water, flossing once per day, brushing twice per day with my Soniccare Toothbrush, and visiting the dentist every six months.

When you think about it, taking good care of your teeth only takes a few minutes each day. When you consider how long your teeth will be with you, it makes sense to keep them in top condition now and down the road.
