The best way to enjoy good oral health is to come up with an ideal oral hygiene routine and follow it regularly every day. A few minutes of daily dedication and the results will be long lasting. Some people are tempted to skip the regular routine, while many others feel that just brushing the teeth is enough as long as nothing hurts in the mouth. However, a regular oral hygiene regime twice a day and with the right choice of products is essential if you want to avoid taking an emergency trip to the dentist.
MORNING ROUTINE
Coffee (tea maybe) is sure a great way to wake you up in the morning, but you will be surprised to know how a good oral hygiene routine can work to keep your day ahead and your overall health in the long run.
Get off on your foot and practice the right oral hygiene routine in the morning. Every time you skip brushing teeth, you are encouraging bacteria buildup that could’ve been destroyed in just 2 minutes. So, stop looking for shortcuts when it comes to brushing your teeth and start prioritizing your oral care needs! Brush twice a day for 2 minutes to keep those pearly whites healthy and shiny. Brush the outer surface first, the inner surface next and then the chewing surfaces. Clean the back of your teeth with the tip of your brush stroking up and down gently.
Once you are done brushing your teeth, it’s time to floss. Flossing teeth helps to remove the food particles and plaque from the teeth while it’s still soft. If plaque is left on the teeth, it hardens to become tartar and can be removed only by professional cleaning. Floss carefully between each teeth and along the gum line. Do it gently as vigorous flossing may damage the gums.
Next if you want pristine breath, it is ideal to rinse your mouth with a Mouthwash. This will help to reduce bad breath and keep it clean and fresh.
NIGHT ROUTINE
People have their own night time routine; reading, taking a shower, applying skin serum etc. A regular night time oral care routine is very essential to prolong the beauty of your healthy smile. It’s understandable that you are in a rush in the mornings, so when it comes to your nighttime oral hygiene routine, take your time.
Saliva in the oral cavity helps to flush out the food debris and bacteria keeping the mouth clean. It adds an additional layer of defense against plaque and bacteria. During the night mouth does not produce enough saliva like it does in the day. And without night time brushing, bacteria that gets accumulated in the mouth during the day grows to destroy the surface of the teeth. So, brushing the teeth before bed helps to keep plaque, tooth decay and gum diseases at bay. Brushing your teeth in the night is like recharging for the next day. Isn’t it lovely to go to bed with that fresh sensation in the mouth and wake up with the feeling of being clean?
Floss before you hit the bed. With all the food and drink you had during the day, plaque would have built up on the teeth. Bacteria in the plaque loves the moist and dark environment in your mouth and continues to build up. So, if you floss only once in a day, it is preferable to do it at night to avoid plaque buildup while you sleep.
The next basic step before bed is rinsing the mouth with a mouthwash. Mouthwash with powerful ingredients like Lactoferrin helps to remove bacteria from the plaque biofilm while also keeping the breath fresh. Lactoferrin has Antimicrobial properties and helps to maintain good oral hygiene.
Many people grind their teeth in the night without even realizing it and this can lead to tooth damage overtime. So, if you wake up with sore jaw you may be suffering from bruxism or tooth grinding. Talk to your dentist and get a mouth guard to wear while sleeping.
