Oral Health Care

Good oral health care involves much more than fresh breath and a bright smile. Properly caring for your teeth and gums can actually extend your life expectancy. An unhealthy mouth can be a breeding ground for infection, which can travel to other parts of your body. Some of the conditions linked to poor oral health include cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. 

By maintaining good oral health care, you can effectively protect your body from a host of problems. Alta White not only whitens your teeth but kills all the micro bacteria deep within the crevasses of your enamel ensuring a clean bright, healthy smile. Learn about these tips for oral health care that will keep your mouth and the rest of your body healthy as well. 

Signs of a Problem 

There are many signs that your mouth is not obtaining the oral care it needs to stay healthy. Signs of poor oral care might include: 

• Gums that are red, swollen or bleed easily
• Gums that begin to recede from your teeth
• Teeth sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages
• Permanent teeth that become loose
• Foul smelling breath
   

If you detect any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your dentist to determine the cause of the problem. Your dentist is also a good source of information for proper oral care.

•  Brushing

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, using fluoride-based toothpaste and a soft bristle toothbrush. Some people find that using an electric toothbrush helps them clean hard to reach spots in the mouth. However, not all electric toothbrushes are created equal. Talk to your dentist about his recommendations before investing in one of these devices to ensure you purchase the best model for your needs. 

Practicing proper brushing techniques is also essential to good oral health care. Make sure you are holding your brush at a slight angle so your reach the area at the base of the gums. You also want to address chewing surfaces and the back of your teeth. Don't forget to add a few brush strokes to your tongue as well to prevent bacteria growth in the area and to ensure fresh, clean breath. There are also tools available that are specifically designed to keep the tongue clean. 

• Flossing  

Because your toothbrush cannot reach the area between your teeth, flossing is another daily essential. Flossing removes leftover food debris and plaque that your brush misses. It also keeps your gums clean and healthy and helps to prevent gingivitis. There are many types of floss available today, including waxed floss that glides between your teeth smoothly for easier flossing.

• Eating Right

A healthy diet isn't just good for your body; it's beneficial to your teeth as well. Calcium and phosphorous-rich foods protect tooth enamel, meaning you should enjoy plenty of chicken, cheese, nuts and milk. Avoid sweets as much as possible, since sugar is a fuel source for bacteria. If your sweet tooth is raging, pick up a crunchy piece of sweet fruit. The high water content in these foods dilutes the sugar so the effects are minimized.

• Seeing Your Dentist  

The final step in good oral health care is to see your dentist regularly. Most dentists recommend a regular checkup, cleaning & whitening every six months. If you encounter problems like sore, swollen gums or a toothache, it is important to contact the dentist as soon as possible. Some oral problems can indicate another health issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Most dentists will provide instructions on proper oral care that should be followed consistently to maintain optimal oral health.
