Description June 2022 Spotlight
June is Oral Health Month, a
great time mid-year to do a ‘checkup' on your oral
health! Consider taking the steps as listed below, and
you'll be well on your way to a healthier mouth and
brighter smile:
Brush twice a day.
Brushing your teeth twice a
day, every day for two minutes is the way to go! And
remember to take your time, moving the toothbrush in
gentle, circular motions to remove germs that can lead
to gum disease.
Don’t forget your tongue.
Germs can build up on your
tongue and cause bad breath and other oral health
problems. So gently brush your tongue every time you
brush your teeth.
Brush with fluoride
toothpaste.
Brushing your teeth with
toothpaste that has fluoride, helps keep teeth strong
and protects against tooth decay.
Floss once a day.
Flossing helps to remove
germs and debris from between your teeth and helps to
reduce gum disease.
Drink more water.
Drinking water is the best
for good oral health. Drinking water helps to lower
sticky and sugary foods and beverages in between
brushes.
See your dentist at least
twice a year.
Seeing your dentist for
cleanings and checkups at least twice a year, is a
must. Your dentist can spot oral health issues that you
may not see, like tooth decay and gum disease.
