From gum disease to cavities, practicing great dental hygiene habits and working with a great Jacksonville dentist<\/a> such as Khoi Dental Group – Formerly Carlson Dental Group is the best way to get your teeth looking and feeling their best. Read our four useful tips for keeping your teeth squeaky clean all day long.<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

1. Floss At Least Once a Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximately one third of Americans admit to not flossing on a regular basis, which can quickly lead to plaque build-up between the teeth. Everyone should floss at least once during the day, making sure to glide the floss in a C shape along the edge of each tooth.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

2. Brush Your Gums and Tongue Too<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to brushing the side, top, and back of your each tooth, make sure to spend some time brushing your gums on the roof of your mouth, as well. You can also use the back of your toothbrush or a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from the tongue.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

3. Choose a Good Mouthwash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mouthwash should never replace brushing or flossing, but it can help remove extra debris and germs that are hard to reach with a toothbrush. There are many different types of mouthwashes to choose from, so ask your Jacksonville dentist for a recommendation.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

4. Pack an Extra Toothbrush and Floss<\/strong><\/p>\n

It always a good idea to brush or floss after a meal if you feel a residue in your mouth or think food is stuck between your teeth. Pack a toothbrush and flossers in your car or bag so you can clean your mouth while at work or on the go.<\/p>\n

Taking the time to care for your teeth will save you from a load of pain down the road. In addition to all of these tips, makes sure to visit your Jacksonville dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and cleaning.
