5 Oral Care Tips for 2020[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581564708177{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]A recent survey has shown that as many as 19 million people believe that a healthy smile serves to boost their self-confidence. People believe that their smile is unattractive often face difficulty in developing relationships and progressing in their careers. Feeling self conscious about your teeth can have a huge impact on how often you laugh and smile. Taking steps towards a healthy smile by improving your oral care routine can make a huge impact on your overall confidence. Here are the 5 tips that we recommend:[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/12″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][mk_milestone icon_size=”medium” align=”center” stop=”1″ prefix=”#” text_color=”#89c131″ font_family=”none”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581972019249{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Commit to Regular Dental Appointments – If there is one tip that is the most important of them all, it’s to stay consistent with your dental check-ups and cleanings. Dental appointments are vital in maintaining a healthy smile. While regular cleanings are important, these appointments also give your dentist a chance to check for everything from cavities to oral cancer. We all know that preventative care is always cheaper than dealing with serious oral issues down the road, so investing in regular appointments is one of the best things you can do for your smile and your wallet.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner attached=”true”][vc_column_inner width=”1/12″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][mk_milestone icon_size=”medium” align=”center” stop=”2″ prefix=”#” text_color=”#89c131″ font_family=”none”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581971972789{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Improve (and Stick With) Your Home Care Routine – A solid hygiene routine at home is almost as important as those regular check-ups. Commit to brushing your teeth for two minutes every day, flossing once a day, brushing your tongue while brushing your teeth, and limiting sugary foods and sodas as much as possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner attached=”true”][vc_column_inner width=”1/12″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][mk_milestone icon_size=”medium” align=”center” stop=”3″ prefix=”#” text_color=”#89c131″ font_family=”none”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581971979092{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Recognize the Impact of Diet on Dental Health – Improving your diet may already be on your list of resolutions for 2020. While your waistline might be your primary motivation for making better choices, it’s important to recognize the impact our diets have on our oral health. Foods that are high in sugar or very acidic should be enjoyed in moderation and you should aim to brush your teeth afterwards.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner attached=”true”][vc_column_inner width=”1/12″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/12″][mk_milestone icon_size=”medium” align=”center” stop=”4″ prefix=”#” text_color=”#89c131″ font_family=”none”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581971984354{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Consider Using a Mouth Guard for Protection – Those of us that struggle with grinding our teeth could really benefit from using a mouth guard.
