Smiling man in the dental chair.The new year is an excellent time to reassess your outlook and your goals, especially when it comes to your health. Your dentist in East Islip wants to offer some helpful tips on making your dental care a focus for 2019 because your oral health should also be a priority.

Ideas on How to Make Your Oral Health a Focus for the New Year

Sometimes only a few simple changes are needed to make a big impact on your oral health. Here are a few ideas:

  • Don’t forget to brush before bed. For most people, brushing their teeth in the morning is a no-brainer since they’re eager to eliminate bad breath. However, brushing before bed may be easier to overlook when you’re tired or have had a long day. Don’t skip this important routine because it eliminates the food and bacteria left in your mouth after meals that would otherwise sit on your teeth.
  • Floss once a day. Another habit that’s easy to skip is flossing. Many people feel it’s unimportant and time consuming. However, flossing removes the plaque and bacteria that builds up in between your teeth and can cause tooth decay and cavities.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables. You may be thinking about this for your overall health, but fruits and veggies also benefit your oral health. They increase saliva flow, which helps to wash away debris; and they also neutralize the cavity causing acids in your mouth.
  • Routine visits to your dentist. Your six month cleaning and checkup have never been more important in light of the information showing a direct correlation between gum disease and other health concerns in the body such as heart disease. Consistent visits to your dentist allow them to detect concerns like gum disease and tooth decay early on so you can treat them more easily and effectively.
